CONCACAF nearing agreement on ‘League of Nations’

Confederation president Victor Montagliani hopes the move will work to improve the quality of CONCACAF's member federations

CONCACAF is nearing a deal which will create a ‘League of Nations’ competition for its 41 member federations, the confederation president said in an interview Friday.

The decision would all but eliminate friendlies for the regions’ international teams, and is fashioned after UEFA’s Nations League, which is set to begin in 2018. That Nations League was likely to leave the United States and Mexico with fewer scheduling options for international breaks.

President Victor Montagliani told Reuters the overall idea has been generally accepted and that a format has been decided, though it still needs to be shown to CONCACAF’s member federations.
