  • Concacaf Club Index 2021
    Concacaf Club Index 2021 CONCACAF CLUB INDEX 2021 The draw for the 2021 Scotiabank Concacaf League is set for June 16th and Concacaf has now unveiled the slot allocation ranking for positioning in the Scotiabank Concacaf League (SCL) draw. The allocation ranking has determined the seeding of clubs for the upcoming edition of the SCL. Clubs qualify for the Scotiabank Concacaf League based on criteria set by the respective Member Associations (i.e. tournament champion, runner-up, Cup champion, etc.). The specific method of qualification for each club results in an assigned slot to each qualified club (i.e. CRC 2, CRC 3, etc.), which is used as the basis for the draw’s seeding. The system does not rank individual clubs. It is based on the on-field performance of the various clubs of the same Member Association that have occupied those respective qualifying slots. For example, each year Nicaragua qualifies two clubs to the Scotiabank Concacaf League. Per the competition regulations, the 2020 Apertura or 2021 Clausura champion with the most accumulated points in the 2020-21 season will be assigned slot NCA1. The total points awarded to NCA1 (shown in the table below) are not those obtained by a single Nicaraguan club in previous appearances, but rather those obtained by the last five Nicaraguan clubs that qualified as NCA1 To determine the total points awarded to a Member Association’s slot(s) (i.e. NCA1) in any single edition of the Scotiabank Concacaf League, Concacaf utilizes the following formula: 2 points for 0.5 Point per 1 Point for

  • Flow Concacaf Caribbean Club Championship
    Welcome to the Congress To our Member Associations’ Presidents, Delegates and Guests, We begin this welcome letter for our 34th Concacaf Ordinary Congress with a great sense of pride about Concacaf. As we look back on last year — in fact, the last three years since our administration took office — it is remarkable how much our organization has accomplished on our journey to move football forward throughout the region. We are ONE family that works within a culture defined by a love for our game, with ONE mutual goal of becoming champions, on and off the field. Guided by our brand pillars of Unity, Football, Quality and Access, we continue to make excellent progress in the execution of our regional strategy. As a result, we are happy to report on another record year for our Confederation. First, from a competition standpoint, we have seen the introduction and expansion of tournaments aimed at raising the quality of Concacaf’s football, while creating more access to all of the game’s stakeholders. • There is tremendous pride in the launch of the Concacaf Nations League. When we see the results and emotions from our federation’s presidents, coaches, players, fans and the media, we can already perceive how our joint efforts are generating benefits of increased competition and development for the Confederation as a whole. • The expansion of the Concacaf Gold Cup, from 12 to 16 nations, is another signature achievement. More importantly, for the first time in the 15 editions of the competition, we are bringing our top national team championship to a Caribbean and Central American pitch.
