On 12 March 2024, CONCACAF announced the inaugural edition of the CONCACAF W Champions Cup. The tournament will feature eleven teams from seven CONCACAF member associations. The winner of a preliminary round match between a club from Canada and El Salvador will join the remaining nine teams in the group stage. In the group stage, teams will be split into two groups of five teams. Teams will face each other in a single round-robin format, with each team playing two matches at home and two matches away in August, September and October 2024. The top two clubs from each group will advance to the knockout stage, played at a centralized location in May 2025. The knockout stage will feature semi-finals, a third place play-off and a final to determine the champions of the competition. The tournament was originally intended to provide a pathway for a future FIFA Women's Club World Cup which FIFA had committed to launching in the future, but with the postponement of the Women's Club World Cup to 2028, FIFA awarded the winner of the 2024-25 CONCACAF W Champions Cup a semifinal spot in the 2026 FIFA Women's Champions Cup.[1][3][2]
Teams in the group stage are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points, the following tiebreaking criteria are applied, in the order given, to determine their rankings:[4]
Goal difference in all group matches;
Goals scored in all group matches;
Points in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
Goal difference in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
Goals scored in head-to-head matches among the tied teams;
Lower number of disciplinary points (single yellow card = 1 point, double yellow card = 3 points, direct red card = 4 points, direct red card after single yellow card = 5 points);
CONCACAF allocated spots to seven of their member associations, based on eligibility criteria. Each association has one spot in the tournament, with the exception of Mexico and the United States, which have three.[1]
Teams will qualify through their domestic leagues based on sporting merit. The qualification criteria, confirmed on 24 April 2024,[5] were proposed by each member association and ratified by CONCACAF.[1]
Qualified teams for 2024–25 CONCACAF W Champions Cup
The draw for the group stage was held on 6 June 2024 at 20:00 EDT (UTC−4).[3][6][7] A team was randomly drawn from Pot 1, consisting of the two Preliminary Round teams, to determine the host of the Preliminary Round match. Then, the ten Group Stage teams (the nine direct qualifiers for the Group Stage plus the as-then-unknown winner of the Preliminary Round) were drawn into two groups of five. The Group Stage draw began by randomly selecting a team from Pot 2 and placing them into Group A and then selecting the remaining team from Pot 2 and placing them into Group B. The Group Stage draw continued with the same procedure done for the remaining pots.
The qualified teams from Canada and El Salvador will participate in the preliminary round, with the winner joining the remaining nine teams in the group stage.[7]
In the knockout stage, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each). If still tied after extra time, the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out. On 26 December 2024, CONCACAF announced that Estadio Universitario in Nuevo León, Mexico would host the knockout stage of the tournament.[8]
