Toronto FC not yet qualified for CONCACAF Champions League

Toronto FC’s place in the 2017-18 CONCACAF Champions League is not yet secure.

Due to the reformatting of the Champions League announced in January, TFC will have to either repeat as winners of the Canadian Championship this year or win a one-off playoff match against the new Voyageurs Cup holders in order to book their spot among the 16 qualified teams.

To try and recap those changes as briefly as possible, CONCACAF have decided to send the American, Canadian and Mexican qualifiers straight into what is currently the knockout stage of their tournament, to which an extra round will be added (they’re calling it phase two).
