User:Quidster4040/sandbox/2021–22 CONCACAF Champions League group stage

The 2020–21 CONCACAF Champions League group stage began on 14 September 2021 and ended on 8 December 2021. A total of 32 teams competed in the group stage to decide the 16 places in the knockout stage of the 2021–22 CONCACAF Champions League.

Draw edit

The draw was held at the Univision Studios in Miami, United States on 30 August 2021 at 17:00 EST.

The 32 teams were drawn into eight groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on the following principles (Regulations Article 13.06):

  • Pot 1 contained the Champions League and SuperLiga title holders, and the champions of the top six associations based on their 2020 CONCACAF country coefficients.
  • Pots 2, 3 and 4 contained the remaining teams, seeded based on their 2020 club coefficients.

On 31 July 2021, the CONCACAF emergency panel ruled that Haitian teams could not play home fixtures in Haiti due to the 2018–2021 Haitian protests, "until further notice". The one Haitian team, Arcahaie, announced on 13 August 2021, that their group stage fixtures would be played at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale (near Miami), United States.

On each matchday, one set of four groups played their matches on Tuesday, while the other set of four groups played their matches on Wednesday, with the two sets of groups alternating between each matchday. Some teams in the northern U.S. and Canada were selected to play on the road on the final match days due to cold weather. The fixtures were decided after the draw, using a computer draw not shown to public, with the following match sequence (Regulations Article 16.02):

Group stage schedule
Matchday Dates
Matchday 1 14–15 September 2021
Matchday 2 28–29 September 2021
Matchday 3 19–20 October 2021
Matchday 4 2–3 November 2021
Matchday 5 23–24 November 2021
Matchday 6 7–8 December 2021

There were scheduling restrictions: for example, teams from the same city (e.g. América & UNAM and Alajuelense & Saprissa) in general were not scheduled to play at home on the same matchday (to avoid them playing at home on the same day or on consecutive days, due to logistics and crowd control), and teams from "winter countries" (e.g. Canada) were not scheduled to play at home on the last matchday (due to cold weather).
