CONCACAF to adopt with League of Nations format for member countries
TORONTO — CONCACAF has approved a “League of Nations” format for play within the 41-country confederation that covers North and Central America and the Caribbean.
In essence, it creates a three-tiered league which the confederation says will “maximize the quality, quantity and frequency of competitive matches” of its members.
The competition will be used as qualifying for the CONCACAF Gold Cup and to determine seeding in World Cup qualifying.
CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani, a Canadian, calls it a “watershed moment” for the confederation.
