After a 1-0 win over Central FC on August 2, Vancouver Whitecaps FC continue their 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League (CCL) campaign against Sporting Kansas City on August 23 at BC Place (7 p.m. PT – tickets still available). Note that CCL group stage matches are included in 2016 Whitecaps FC season ticket memberships.
WHAT IS THE CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE?
The CONCACAF Champions League is a 24-team competition between the top clubs from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. Whitecaps FC earned Canada’s lone entry in the tournament by winning the Voyageurs Cup in last year’s Amway Canadian Championship.
The winner of the CCL qualifies for the annual FIFA Club World Cup, where they compete against the top teams from Asia, Africa, South America, Oceana, and Europe.
An MLS team has never won the CCL – though Montreal reached the final in 2014-15.
