Concacaf on Thursday afternoon confirmed a dramatic expansion and overhaul of its club competition format starting in the fall of 2023, when 10 regionalized groups of five teams each—including four groups comprising teams from the USA, Canada and Mexico—will kick off a new year-long tournament to crown the confederation champion.
“This is a hugely important development for Concacaf and for club football in our region,” Concacaf president Victor Montagliani said. “The Concacaf Champions League has grown impressively in recent years, but this new format will transform the competition and significantly increase its relevance throughout our confederation and globally.
