Regional governing body Concacaf announced early Thursday afternoon the immediate suspension of the Concacaf Champions League tournament, in which four MLS clubs remain. The decision comes shortly after MLS confirmed a 30-day suspension of all league games due to the coronavirus pandemic.
“Given the developments [Wednesday] night, including new guidance issued by countries, cities and states, we have made the decision to suspend the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League with immediate effect,” the Concacaf statement said. “We are continuing to discuss arrangements for other upcoming Concacaf competitions and will make a further public statement in due course.”
The CCL shuts down in the middle of the home-and-away quarterfinal round, with three of the four opening legs having already been played.
