The 1979 CONCACAF Champions' Cup was the 15th edition of the annual international club football competition held in the CONCACAF region (North America, Central America and the Caribbean), the CONCACAF Champions' Cup. It determined that year's club champion of association football in the CONCACAF region and was played from 20 May till 29 December 1979.
The teams were split in 3 zones (North American, Central American and Caribbean), each one qualifying the winner to the final tournament, where the winners of the North and Central zones played a semi-final to decide who was going to play against the Caribbean champion in the final. All the matches in the tournament were played under the home/away match system.
Salvadoran Club Deportivo FAS won the two-legged series final v Antillean team Jong Colombia (8–2 on aggregate),[1] becoming CONCACAF champions for the first time in their history.[2]
