Goalkeeper Tafari Chambers, defender Jamoi Topey, midfielder Jashaun Anglin, and forward Daniel Green were named among the competition’s top XI, as confirmed in the official announcement published Tuesday on the Concacaf website.

Mount Pleasant’s quartet was matched only by beaten finalists Universidad O&M FC of the Dominican Republic, who also placed four players on the team, highlighting the defining rivalry of this year’s competition.

Chambers sets the standard between the posts

At the foundation of Mount Pleasant’s title run stood Tafari Chambers, whose consistency and composure earned him both Best XI honors and the tournament’s Golden Glove award.

Chambers conceded just one goal during the regular season and finished the tournament with 17 saves across eight matches. Concacaf described the Jamaican international as “a standout for the championship side, coming up with 17 saves in eight games en route to the trophy.”

Topey anchors a championship defense

Defender Jamoi Topey’s inclusion reflected Mount Pleasant’s defensive solidity throughout the competition. He logged 545 minutes over seven appearances, completing 257 passes while adding five tackles and seven interceptions as the champions limited opponents’ scoring opportunities.

In midfield, Jashaun Anglin delivered a disciplined, all-around tournament that balanced defensive bite with distribution. Over 608 minutes of play, the Jamaican midfielder registered 26 tackles and completed 225 passes, providing stability and rhythm at the heart of Mount Pleasant’s line-up.

Green claims top individual honors

Leading the attacking line, Daniel Green capped a stellar campaign by being named the Caribbean Cup’s Best Player.

Green scored twice and supplied one assist in 553 minutes of action, producing nine total shots, six on target, while consistently influencing matches at the highest level of the tournament.

Best XI reflects regional excellence

While Mount Pleasant’s four selections anchored the Best XI, the remainder of the team showcased elite talent from across the Caribbean.

Universidad O&M FC’s Julen Olasagasti, Yoan Melo, Jon Tricado, and Herard Frantzety were rewarded for their run to the Final, with Frantzety finishing as the tournament’s top scorer with five goals.

Cibao FC placed defender Edward Reyes and prolific striker Rivaldo Correa, who became the Caribbean Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 10 career goals. Defence Force’s Kevin Molino earned recognition after a standout tournament that yielded four goals, two assists, and a competition-best 388 completed passes, helping his club secure third place and a berth in the 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup.

A championship team etched into history

With four players honored among the region’s best and the club lifting its first Caribbean Cup title, Mount Pleasant FA’s 2025 campaign stands as one of the most authoritative performances in the competition’s history, defined by balance, discipline, and decisive excellence across every line of the field.
