User:Bmf 051/sandbox/2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The CONCACAF Champions League was an annual continental club football competition. The following is a proposed redesign for the current tournament, based on the UEFA Champions League. It is unlikely that such a design would work in reality, because many of the Caribbean Football Union associations could not be relied upon to provide teams on a regular basis (see the low participation for some nations in CFU Club Championship). Also, many associations do not have stadiums that meet FIFA and CONCACAF requirements for hosting matches in a tournament such as this. But this is just an idea.

The tournament would have consisted of a qualification round and a play-off round, with 16 surviving teams entering the group stage, joining 16 teams that qualify automatically. The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four teams and played each other in a double round-robin system. The eight group winners and eight runners-up proceeded to the knockout phase that culminated with the two-legged final. Cruz Azul were the title holders.

Herediano won the tournament, defeating Cruz Azul 4–3 on aggregate in the final.

Format

[edit]

Qualification

[edit]

The CONCACAF Champions League would commence with a double round-robin group stage of 32 teams, which is preceded by two qualification 'streams' for teams that do not receive direct entry to the tournament proper. The two streams are divided between teams qualified by virtue of being league champions, and those qualified by virtue of finishing 2nd–5th in their national championship.

The number of teams that each association enters into the CONCACAF Champions League is based upon their CONCACAF country coefficient. These coefficients are generated by the results of clubs representing each association during the previous five Champions League seasons. The higher an association's coefficient, the more teams represent the association in the Champions League, and the fewer qualification rounds the association's teams must compete in. However, associations are limited to 1 entrant for every 3 teams at the highest level of that association's league system.

Sixteen teams qualify directly to the group stage of the tournament from associations ranked 1 through 11. Eight of the remaining sixteen qualifying places are granted to the winners of a two round qualifying tournament between the remaining 28 national champions, within which those champions from associations with higher coefficients receive byes to the second qualifying round (the "play-off round"). The other eight are granted to the winners of a one round play-off round between the 16 clubs from the associations ranked 1 through 10 (except Canada), which have qualified based upon finishing second, third, fourth, or fifth in their respective national league (or that have qualified by winning a domestic tournament, such as the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup).

Tournament

[edit]

The tournament proper begins with a group stage of 32 teams, divided into eight groups. Seeding is used whilst making the draw for this stage, whilst teams from the same country may not be drawn into groups together. Each team meets the others in its group home and away in a round-robin format. The winning team and the runners-up from each group then progress to the next round.

For this stage, the winning team from one group plays against the runners-up from another group, and teams from the same association may not be drawn against each other. From the quarter-finals onwards, the draw is entirely random, without association protection. The tournament uses the away goals rule: if the aggregate score of the two games is tied, then the team who scored more goals at their opponent's stadium advances. If the teams are tied on away goals, an 30 additional minutes (two 15 minute periods) of extra time will be played. If the match remains tied, the game will go to penalty kicks. This is a variation of the method used in the UEFA Champions League and other tournaments, the difference being that the away goals rule is not applied after extra time.

Notes:

  1. ^
    Canada (CAN): As the third-ranked association, Canada would normally be entitled to 4 bids. However, as Canada's top division (Major League Soccer, based in the United States) only has 3 Canadian teams, they are only eligible to send one team. As a result the fifth-ranked, seventh-ranked, and tenth-ranked associations are granted an additional bid (their fourth-placed, third-placed, and runner-up teams respectively).

Association team allocation

[edit]

A total of 60 teams (61 if the title holders do not qualify via their domester league) from 39 of the 41 CONCACAF member associations would participate in the CONCACAF Champions League (the exceptions being Montserrat and Sint Maarten, which have not organized domestic leagues since 2004 and 2007, respectively). The association rankings, based on the CONCACAF country coefficients, are used to determine the number of participating teams for each association:

  • Associations 1 and 2 each five teams qualify.
  • Association 3 (Canada) has one team qualify.
  • Associations 4 and 5 have four teams qualify.
  • Associations 6 and 7 have three teams qualify.
  • Associations 8–10 each have two teams qualify.
  • Associations 11–39 each have one team qualify.

Association ranking (2014–15)

[edit]

For the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League, the associations are allocated places according to their CONCACAF country coefficient.. These coefficients take into account their performance in the CONCACAF Champions League from 2009–10 to 2013–14. Associations with the same coefficient have been ranked based on their performance in past CFU Club Championships (Belize was automatically ranked ahead of all Caribbean teams that had the same coefficient as them).

Notes:

  1. ^
    Mexico (MEX): Cruz Azul, the title holders, qualified as Mexico's fourth-placed team (by virtue of being the non-finalist with the best regular season record in the 2014 Clausura). This would normally place them in the play-off round for non-champions. However, the title holder is guaranteed a spot in the group stage. So, Cruz Azul were placed in the group stage at the expense of América, Mexico's third-placed team (by virtue of being the runner-up in the 2013 Apertura), who were demoted to the play-off round for non-champions.

Qualifying round

[edit]

In the qualifying round and the play-off round, teams were divided into seeded and unseeded teams based on their CONCACAF club coefficients, and then drawn into two-legged home-and-away ties. Teams with the same club coefficient were ranked based on their league's ranking. Teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. The losing teams entered the CONCACAF SuperLiga play-off round.

The draw for the first and second qualifying rounds was held on 18 July 2014. The first legs were played on 29 and 30 July, and the second legs were played on 5 and 6 August 2014.

Group stage

Location of teams of the 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League group stage.
Brown: Group A; Red: Group B; Orange: Group C; Yellow: Group D; Green: Group E; Blue: Group F; Purple: Group G; Pink: Group H.

A total of 32 teams play in the group stage: 16 teams which enter in this stage, and the 16 winners of the play-off round (8 from the Champions Route, 8 from the League Route).

The 32 teams were allocated into four pots based on their 2014 CONCACAF club coefficients, with the title holders being placed in Pot 1 automatically. Teams were drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. The draw was held on 28 August 2014.

In each group, teams will play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format. The matchdays will be 16–17 September, 30 September–1 October, 21–22 October, 4–5 November, 25–26 November, and 9–10 December 2014. The group winners and runners-up will advance to the round of 16. The fourth-placed teams will enter the CONCACAF SuperLiga round of 48, while the third-placed teams will enter the CONCACAF SuperLiga round of 32.

Tiebreakers

[edit]

The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, 0 points for a loss). If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:

  1. higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  2. superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams in question;
  3. higher number of goals scored in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  4. higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches played among the teams in question;
  5. If, after applying criteria 1 to 4 to several teams, two teams still have an equal ranking, criteria 1 to 4 are reapplied exclusively to the matches between the two teams in question to determine their final rankings. If this procedure does not lead to a decision, criteria 6 to 8 apply;
  6. superior goal difference from all group matches played;
  7. higher number of goals scored from all group matches played;
  8. higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question, as well as its association, over the previous five seasons.

Knockout phase

[edit]

In the knockout phase, teams will play against each other over two legs on a home-and-away basis. The mechanism of the draws for each round is as follows:

  • In the draw for the round of 16, the eight group winners were seeded, and the eight group runners-up were unseeded. The seeded teams were drawn against the unseeded teams, with the seeded teams hosting the second leg. Teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
  • In the draws for the quarter-finals onwards, there were no seedings, and teams from the same group or the same association could not be drawn against each other.
  • If any association had sent two teams to the semifinals, those teams would have automatically been paired with each other and the draw would have only been used to determine which team hosted the second leg of each semifinal match-up.
