Olympique_de_Marseille Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 https://www.concacaf.com/news/conmebol-and-concacaf-sign-strategic-collaboration-agreement/ The biggest loser of this announcement is the Chile WNT who are currently ranked 4th in CONMEBOL but didn't have the best Copa America. Lucky Paraguay! narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 I think the biggest disappointment for me is that the women’s tournament will also be in the US. I could see the men’s being there but it just reeks of the US hosting every future significant tournament in CONCACAF. Money really does talk.

Big_M Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Montagliani again and again and again with these trash formats...instead of a simple 16 teams with 4 groups of 4 and top 2 of each advancing to quarter finals he says no way, we are going with 15 teams and 3 of them will go home after 1 game Concacaf announces dates and format for inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what they are trying to do though. This format gives the League B teams a chance at the big stage. The move away from the summer is a little sad but it makes sense given the Olympics and the Men's Copa America. Edit: Draw is Wednesday, May 17th. Interesting.

red card Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 FIFA will need to expand international window for Canada's Euro-based players to play. Timing avoids headaches for NWSL but it causes headaches for USSF since they'll need to move SheBelieves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they made a deal with the USSF to not have a SheBelieves in 2024 so they could host this instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 My main takeaway from the format is that if Canada wins the Olympic playoff against Jamaica we don't get to participate in Nations League. WTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF! But presumably we'd play friendly matches against higher ranked opponents. Jedi Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I was assuming Nations League would be a trophy opportunity. They don't even mention any kind of playoffs at this point, so it's just a disappointing competition.
