The 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League is the second edition of the CONCACAF Champions League under its current format. The tournament began on July 28, 2009 will run through April 27, 2010.[1] The winner will gain a berth in the 2010 FIFA Club World Cup.

Qualification

24 teams from up to 13 nations were expected to participate in the CONCACAF Champions League 2009–10 from the North American, Central American, and Caribbean zones. However, after problems in the previous year's tournament, CONCACAF decided that teams may be disqualified and replaced if they don't have a stadium for the tournament that CONCACAF deems suitable.[2]

  • Central America: 12 Central American clubs can qualify to the Champions League. If one or more clubs is precluded, it will be supplanted by a club from another Central American federation. The reallocation would be based on results from the Champions League 2008–09.

Also, in response to fixture congestion during the previous year's tournament, the Central American representatives that qualify via split seasons will no longer play-off solely to determine which team will gain entry into the Group Stage. In nations that regularly play a playoff to determine a national champion, these will continue as usual. For those that don't, total points over both seasons, followed by other tiebreakers, will determine which team enters the Group Stage without playing extra matches.[3]

Reallocation of bids

It was announced on May 12, 2009 that Belize had lost their lone qualification to Honduras due to the inability of the Belize federation to meet CONCACAF's minimum requirements in regards to stadium facilities.[4] The spot vacated by Belize was awarded to Honduras, increasing their total to three qualified clubs, due to their association's teams' superior performance in the 2008–09 Champions League.

A second bid was reallocated on June 9 when it was determined that Real Estelí of Nicaragua did not have a suitable venue to host a CONCACAF club match.[5] The Nicaraguan bid was initially intended to be given to a third team from Panama, but Panama only had one stadium pass inspection, which under CONCACAF rules, meant that only two Panamanian clubs could host matches. Thus, the bid was awarded to a third team from Costa Rica, Herediano, the highest non-champion from the combined Invierno 2008 and Verano 2009 seasons. Initially, there was a tie between Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Guatemala, based upon the results of the 2008–09 Champions League, for the reallocated Nicaraguan bid. Therefore, CONCACAF officials drew on results from previous CONCACAF tournaments in order to break the tie, which proved Costa Rica to historically have the strongest representation.

On July 10, 2009 CONCACAF announced that Luís Ángel Firpo of El Salvador was invited to take the place of Chalatenango due to Chalatengo's failure to sign and return the required participation agreement.[6] Firpo was selected as the team with the second-best cumulative record among the runners-up in the El Salvadoran Apertura and Clausura championships.

1 The Columbus Crew were both the 2008 MLS Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup 2008 winner, so the
Houston Dynamo has claimed USA2 as the 2008 MLS Supporters' Shield runner-up.

2 Berth originally awarded to Belize Premier Football League 2009 champion, but Belize failed the
CONCACAF stadium requirements, so the spot vacated by Belize was awarded to Honduras (HON3).

3 Berth originally awarded to Real Estelí of the Primera División de Nicaragua, was rescinded after a
failed stadium inspection by CONCACAF officials. The bid was reallocated to Costa Rica, raising
the total of Costa Rican bids to three.

4 Isidro Metapán won both the Apertura 2008 and Clausura 2009. As a result, the second Salvadoran
bid (SLV2) was awarded to the runner-up in the Apertura and Clausura tournaments with the most points,
Chalatenango. When Chalatenango failed to file the required participation agreement, the runner-up
with the second-most points was invited.

Format

There will be a two-legged Preliminary Round for 16 clubs, with the eight winners advancing to the Group Stage. The other eight qualified teams will be seeded directly into the Group Stage. The clubs involved in the Group Stage will be placed into four groups of four with each team playing the others in its group in both home and away matches. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Championship Round, which will consist of two-legged ties. The Final Round, to be held in late April 2010, will also be two-legged. The away goals rule will be used, but will not apply once a tie enters extra time.
