### Caribbean Zone[edit]

Won by Jong Colombia; instead of qualifying for the final round as originally planned, they were added to the second round of the central zone.

## Final round[edit]

Originally scheduled for March 1998 in Dallas with as quarterfinals  Necaxa vs.  Olimpia and  Platense vs. Municipal; winners of the first were to play Cruz Azul in the semifinal; winners of the second were to play  Dallas Burn in the second semifinal. Format was changed for "scheduling and technical reasons".

The  Dallas Burn hosted the 1998 CONCACAF Cup Winners' Cup tournament at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on March 4, 6 and 8. The six-team tournament, was going to consist of three doubleheaders. It was going to feature  Dallas Burn, defending champion  Necaxa, 1997 Mexican Cup champion  Cruz Azul, and  Olimpia who had defeated  Belen.

The two remaining spots were going to be filled by the winner of the  Municipal vs.  Plaza Amador and the winner of the  Platense vs.  Jong Colombia. "This is a tremendous honor to host this tournament and an extremely high level of competition", said Burn GM Billy Hicks. " Necaxa, Cruz Azul and  Olimpia are some of the best, most decorated champions on this half of the planet."[3]
