CONCACAF Champions League 2008 - 2009


CONCACAF Qualifers                           Soccer
The CONCACAF Champions league will replace the CONCACAF Champions cup.  In the new Tournament which promises to be really exciting will include 24 teams from all over the CONCACAF: 4 clubs each from the USA and Mexico, 2 teams each from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama. 1 both Belize and Nicaragua. Teams in the Carribean will qualify through the CFU Club Championship.

There will be a two-leg preliminary round for 16 clubs, with the 8 winners advancing to a group stage. The other 8 teams (2 from the United States, 2 from Mexico, and one each from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras) will be seeded and begin the competition directly in the group stage. The winners of the preliminary round and the seeded clubs will play in the group stage in four groups of four, with each team playing the others in its group twice, both home and away. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockout stages, which will consist of home-and-away elimination. The finals, in late April, will also be two-legged, home-and-away.

These teams were champions in their respective countries and like in the case of El Salvador's representatives whose current champions was champion also in the previous tournament their second represntative was their 2nd place.
