		CONCACAF organizes international competition in a number of events, including the Champions' Cup, qualifying tournaments for all FIFA competitions and the Gold Cup.
		The 2000 Gold Cup was perhaps the most surprising, with Canada taking home their first major international title as the U.S. and Mexico failed to qualify for the semifinals.
		In early 2001, the Los Angeles Galaxy of MLS claimed the 2000 CONCACAF Champions Cup title, but were unable to represent the region at the 2001 FIFA World Cup Championship that summer when the tournament was canceled by FIFA.

	The Voyageurs: Canadian Soccer Supporters - Any chance of representation in Champions Cup?
		The only possible argument from CONCACAF might be that the Voyageurs is not a true competition and that we don't have a true league.
		Now I'm sure if Cup matchs were tied to the CONCACAF Champions Cup they'd be the best draws of the season for every Canadian side that could enter the tourny, but I don't think anybody other than maybe Montreal wouldn't think long and very hard about the added expenses of such an adventure.
		However, CONCACAF would place the Canadian rep. at the very early preliminary rounds and other clubs such as Mexico and USA would come into play in later rounds, therefore, it would get costly, of course, but Saputo can afford it.

	CONCACAF Champions' Cup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CONCACAF Champions' Cup is the annual international football competition held in the CONCACAF region (North America and the Caribbean).
		Although analogous to better known competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, the Champions Cup is not nearly as important and is not taken nearly as seriously by its competitors as these competitions.
		The CONCACAF Executive Committee at their 2006 November meeting decided to "act upon" a proposal at their next meeting by the CONCACAF Secretariat to develop the CONCACAF Champions’ Cup into a larger “Champions’ League” style event, beginning in 2009.

		CONCACAF will often change things such as format at the last minute for financial reasons, which is another reason why the clarity is not there.
		It's been the Open Cup winner and the MLS Championship Final winners last year, which was the first year of the current (roughly format).
		In 2003 there were 4 US reps in the Competition: 2002 U.S. Open Cup final winner, and three other Champions Cup positions went to the winner of the 2002 MLS Cup, the 2002 MLS Cup runner-up and the winner of the 2002 Supporters’ Shield in MLS.

		The CONCACAF Champions' Cup is the annual international football competition held in the CONCACAF region which comprises North America and the Caribbean.
		Although similar to better known competitions such as the UEFA Champions League and the Copa Libertadores, the Champions Cup is not nearly as important, and is not taken nearly as seriously by its competitors, as these competitions.
		One significant reason for this is that, whereas the Champions League offers clubs huge financial rewards, and the Copa Libertadores is not insignificant, teams receive little money for their participation in the Cup.

		It is assumed that CONCACAF will eventually be given four places in the biennial world club championship, providing for the winners and runnersup from each two-year cycle.

		Olimpia could be a tricky team to face in the Champions' Cup, and they made it to the final in 2000 (before the current CCC format).
		CONCACAF's website says that these two sides will play later this month over two legs to decide who will play América, but in reality the matches will be played whenever and wherever the CFU feels like it.
		I said that while the Cup is definitely a nice thing to win, the bigger priority at the moment has to be the financial viability of the league in general and the clubs in particular.

		The defending MLS Cup champions definitely have a date with the winner of the Copa Libertadores, the South American club champions cup, for the Interamerican Cup on a date to be determined.
		The Interamerican Cup has traditionally been played in a two-leg, home-and-home series, though in the past there has been as much as a two-year delay between the winning of the respective continental championship and playing the Interamerican Cup.
		The cup was last played in April of 1997 when 1995 CONCACAF Champions Cup winner Deportivo Saprissa (Costa Rica) and 1995 Copa Libertadores runner-up Nacional of Medellin (Colombia) played a single match.

		In the short-lived CONCACAF Giants Cup in 2001, United defeated Jamaica's Arnett Gardens FC 5-1 on aggregate in the quarterfinals on their way to the final in the only edition of the event, which they lost 2-0 to Club America of Mexico.

		Still nearly a month before the start of Major League Soccer's 2006 season, defending champions LA Galaxy are already behind the proverbial eight-ball ahead of the second leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarter-final at Saprissa Stadium in San Jose, Costa Rica.
		Not only are Saprissa current holders of the CONCACAF Champions Cup and three-time winners, but the 2005 FIFA Club World Championship bronze winners have never lost to an MLS side on their home patch - now covered with artificial turf to make the home-field advantage all the more substantial.
		Personnel issues aside, the odds are stacked heavily against the Galaxy as San Jose and a highly-motivated Saprissa outfit will be doing their all to take another step toward the Champions Cup final and one more time around at a FIFA Club World Championship.
