| fourth-flagvar = 1949 The 1973 CONCACAF Championship, the sixth edition of the CONCACAF Championship, was held in Haiti from 29 November to 18 December. All matches were played at Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-au-Prince. This is the first edition to double as qualification for the World Cup. Haiti became winners for the first time in the CONCACAF region and qualified for West Germany '74. The North, Central American and Caribbean zone was allocated 1 place (out of 16) in the World Cup.

Controversy

Taking place in Haiti during the Duvalier dictatorship, the tournament was allegedly rigged by the government in Haiti's favor. In one particularly controversial game, Haiti beat Trinidad and Tobago 2-1, with the referee disallowing 4 Trinidad and Tobago goals. Referee Jose Roberto Henriquez and linesman James Higuet received lifetime bans from FIFA as a result of their actions in the match.
