CONCACAF Champions League needs better tournament to juice interest - Minneapolis Star Tribune

When you mention the “Champions League,” in the soccer world, everybody knows that you're talking about the European tournament, arguably the marquee

The CONCACAF League is a competition played by teams from the CONCACAF zone. It’s considered the previous stage for the CONCACAF Champions League since the winner earns a spot in that competition.

This recently created tournament is played on a two-legged format. All stages of the competition require teams to play against their opponents twice, and away goals are considered as a tiebreaker. Teams included in this tournament earned their spot after finishing their local tournaments as the runner-up, or in some cases, as the champion of lower-caliber leagues.

The 2017 CONCACAF League kicked off on August 1 and concluded on October 26. Olimpia, a team from Honduras, won the title by beating Costa Rican side Santos de Guápiles.

The 2018 edition included teams from six countries, adding three sides from the Caribbean region. This is how the teams were divided: Costa Rica (3 clubs), Honduras (two teams), Panamá (3 teams), El Salvador and Nicaragua (2 clubs) and Belize (one team). The tournament began on July 31, with the final set to be played on November 1.

Did you know? Teams from Guatemala were excluded from the competition due to the involvement of some of their execs in the corruption scheme known as FIFA-gate.
