The 2008 CONCACAF Champions Cup:

Competition Format:
8 teams, knockout format. Each round is two-legged, there is no away goal rule. Matches drawn after 180 minutes of play go to 30 minute overtime followed by PK's.

Teams qualify as follows:

• 2 teams from MLS (MLS Cup Champion and Supporter's Shield winner. If the same team wins both than the second team in the final MLS standings qualifies)
• 2 teams from the FMF (2007 Apertura and Clausura Champions)
• 3 teams from Central America (top 3 teams from the 2007 Copa Interclubes UNCAF)
• 1 team from the Caribbean (Champion of 2007 CFU Club Championships)

Teams from the North American Zone (USA and Mexico) are paired against one of the other 4 qualifying teams in the first round. the tournament is set up so that the two teams from Mexico in the US are on opposite sides of the bracket (trying to get USA vs. Mexico Semifinals).

Winner of the competition qualifies directly for the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup.

The Bracket is listed below: green indicates the home team, orange the away team.
