History

The competition was initially created in 2015 and brought together 8 U-13 football clubs from 7 different countries across the CONCACAF region for a chance to compete in a professional-level, international CONCACAF sanctioned development tournament. The first competition took place from August 4, 2015, to August 8, 2015, and was held in the Cruz Azul Acoxpa Academy Training Facility. (18 teams, 128 players and 16 matches) The competition was a great experience for everyone involved and as a result, is still being executed on a yearly basis. The 2016 competition kicked off on July 23 with 16 club teams [6] from 10 countries throughout North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The tournament took place from July 23–30, 2016 at the Universidad Intercontinental [7] [8] in Mexico City. The 2017 edition of the initiative starts the 5th of August in Toluca, Mexico at La Nueva Casa de Fútbol de la FMF [9] and ends the 12th. (16 teams, 288 players, 40 matches) The 2018 edition of the Scotiabank Concacaf Under-13 Champion League will take place August 12–23, 2018, in Toluca City, Mexico (at the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol's (FEMEXFUT) Casa de Fútbol).

Tournament Format

Sixteen club teams from the Caribbean, Central America and North America are divided into four groups of four teams. The tournament follows a round-robin group format which guarantees each team three group games. The top two teams in each of the four-team groups advance to the quarterfinals which are then followed by the semifinals, third-place match and final match. All games are 60 minutes in duration. The 2017 edition of the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League Under-13 Tournament includes a new Shield Tournament for teams who did not advance during the group stage.
