Concacaf points in mid-December to the end of December to finish his 2020 Champions League tournament, which was interrupted in the quarter-final circular in March due to the coronavirus pandemic. probably in the southern United States, while reducing the clashes to two circulars for a bachelor game whenever possible, according to Sports Illustrated.
Four MLS clubs – Atlanta United, Montreal Impact, New York City FC and Los Angeles FC – remain in the race. Montreal’s TSN 690 radio is the first to announce Concacaf’s plan.
Concacaf will lead UEFA. The Europeans effectively concluded their champions’ tournament postponed in Lisbon, Portugal, in August, with Bayern Munich winning their sixth name with a victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
The main difference between UEFA’s plan and the concacaf plan is the solution of the house and house series that were halfway there. In Europe, the return match was played in August behind closed doors at the host stadium originally planned. played in 3 of the 4 quarter-finals, however, it turns out that the moment game of those series will be played at the given site in impartiality. The 4th circular quarter-final between LAFC and Cruz Azul has never begun, so a decision will be made through a singles meeting on the unbiased site.
TSN 690 reported that California, Texas, Florida, and Mexico are possible CDC sites. Sports Illustrated understands that Mexico remains a possibility, however, a location in the United States is the most likely scenario. NYCFC is mexico’s UANL Tigers, 1-0 overall, and will now avoid having to resolve the series at Monterrey. Montreal is Olimpia de Honduras, 2-1 overall, and you will miss a vacation in San Pedro Sula. AtlantaArray is 3-0 overall, opposite Club America and was scheduled to host the back leg match.
The two semi-finals, and then the final, will be a singles match, which means that the whole occasion will consist of seven matches played in 3 rounds, which can be completed in about a week.
MLS clubs have only won the Concacaf Championship twice, and both victories came here when the occasion was played as a knockout tournament on American soil. D. C. United triumphed in 1998 and LA Galaxy won two years later. The revised December format gives the remaining 4 MLS teams a greater chance of name, plus an asterisk.
There is an opening in the Calfinishar thanks to the inevitable postponement of the FIFA Club World Cup, which will be played in mid-December in Qatar. The box of the seven teams won’t fill up at the time. and is not expected to end until the end of January. The Asian champion will not be crowned until December 19 and Oceania will indefinitely postpone his OFC Champions League.
The MLS Cup final is scheduled for December 12.
The December audible will only be the beginning of a possible review of Concacaf’s most productive club tournament over the next 2-3 years. 16, it turns out that among Concacaf officials there is a sense that the organization of 16 teams implemented in 2018 is too exclusive and too exclusive. It does not have the imronta of the season of its counterparts on other continents and gives a small number of matches between the organizations of mlS and La Liga MX, so it now faces a future League Cup festival introduced independently through them. two leagues.
Concacaf President Victor Montagliani said on a virtual occasion of soccerex last month that a new format would preferably be in position for the 2022–23 season.
“I think the [CCL] is the next asset we’re looking to grow,” he said. “If you compare it to other confederations, we don’t play the same amount of games. So it’s about more games, more and more clubs that we’re all resonating with in our own national leagues to play on some other level.
“Our Champions League will grow and strengthen and probably begin after 2022 after the World Cup,” he continued. “We are already in touch with our stakeholders to make sure how it looks, and we need to make an announcement below. year related to our new physically powerful Champions League so enthusiasts can see those rivalries more often. “

Concacaf is aware of the pitfalls of the CCL’s level of organization and is unwilling to see them again: matches were unbalanced, especially for Mexican clubs, while MLS organizations struggled to market mid-week games against foreign organizations that many enthusiasts were unfamiliar with. 4 organizations eventually shrank to three, however, the games have not yet generated much enthusiasm. As a result, organizations have been abandoned.
The means to expand the tournament while skipping an initial level of organization would be to simply move a circular of 32 to existing support, thus doubling the number of organizations (preliminary circulars can be added for small clubs), or by organizing a level organization For example, until 2016 in Africa, the CAF held a circular of 16 until there were 8 organizations left. Then those eight played in two organizations of 4 organizations. (Since then it has doubled the number of organizations to 4). Forward-looking answers are speculative. Concacaf opted for a festival system, only in one extension. It is known how many MLS and MX League organizations will be classified into an expanded format.
The fate of the Concacaf League, a CCL group ranking that includes Central American and Caribbean groups, as well as the Canadian Premier League champion, is also unknown. Some kind of qualifying festival can stay in place, or it can just be. incorporated into the largest CDC.
In an interview with AP, Rob Manfred said he hoped to keep two inventions that would begin in 2020: expanded playoffs and the start of additional innings with a second runner.
