User:Rylesbourne/sandbox/2024–25 CONCACAF Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2024–25 CONCACAF Champions League qualifying phase and play-off round began on 9 July and ended on 28 August 2024.[1]

A total of 52 teams competed in the qualifying system, which included the qualifying phase and the play-off round, with 42 teams in the Champions Path and 10 teams in the League Path. The seven winners in the play-off round (five from Champions Path, two from League Path) advanced to the league phase, to join the 29 teams that entered it.[2]

Times are CEST (UTC+2), as listed by UEFA (local times, if different, are in parentheses).

Format

[edit]

The qualifying phase and play-off round was split into two paths – the Champions Path and the League Path. The Champions Path contained teams which qualified as the winners of their domestic league, and the League Path contained teams which qualified as runners-up, third-placed or fourth-placed teams from their domestic league.

Each tie was played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs advanced to the next round. If the aggregate score was level at the end of normal time of the second leg, extra time was played, and if the same number of goals was scored by both teams during extra time, the tie was determined by a penalty shoot-out.[3]

In the draws for each round, teams were seeded based on their UEFA club coefficients at the beginning of the season, with the teams divided into seeded and unseeded pots containing the same number of teams. A seeded team was drawn against an unseeded team, with the order of legs in each tie decided by draw. As the identity of the winners of the previous round may not have been known at the time of the draws, the seeding was carried out under the assumption that the team with the higher coefficient of an undecided tie advanced to the subsequent round, which meant if the team with the lower coefficient advanced, it would simply take the seeding of its opponent. Prior to the draws, UEFA could form "groups" in accordance with the principles set by the Club Competitions Committee purely for the convenience of the draw and not to resemble any real groupings in the sense of the competition. Teams from associations with political conflicts as decided by UEFA could not be drawn into the same tie. After the draws, the order of legs of a tie could be reversed by UEFA due to scheduling or venue conflicts.

Schedule

[edit]

The schedule of the competition was as follows. All matches were played on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.[1]
