On May 16th, CONCACAF will have its draw for the newest iteration of the CONCACAF Nations League. Unlike the previous editions: Mexico, United States, Costa Rica and Canada will not be in the first round as they are seeded into the quarterfinals.
In League A, there would be sixteen national teams but four would be seeded into the quarterfinals. The four teams that are excluded are the aforementioned United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Canada. The other twelve are: Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Martinique, Cuba, Curaçao, Suriname, Nicaragua and Grenada. These twelve teams would be drawn into two groups but it won’t be the regular home and away format, rather it would be four games in a Swiss-style format.
