2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup
Moca FC advanced to the Semi-Finals where they defeated S.V. Robinhood in leg 1 but lost in leg 2 in penalties. This resulted in Moca FC having to fend for title of 3rd place, which would still qualify them for the CONCACAF Champions Cup. On December 5, 2023, Moca FC won on aggregate 3-2 against Harbour View FC, clinching 3rd place in the 2023 CONCACAF Caribbean Cup. This is the first time Moca FC has ever advanced to the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
