The 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League is the 4th edition of the CONCACAF Champions League under its current format. The tournament began on July 26, 2011 and finish with the second leg of the final April 24–26, 2012.[1] The winner will qualify as the CONCACAF representative at the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup.

Qualification

Twenty-four teams will participate in the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League from the North American, Central American, and Caribbean zones. Nine of the teams will come from North America, twelve from Central America, and three from the Caribbean.[2]

Teams may be disqualified and replaced by a team from a different country if the club doesn't have an available stadium that meets CONCACAF regulations for safety. If a club's own stadium fails to meet the set standards then it may find a suitable replacement stadium within its own country. However, if it is still determined that the club cannot provide the adequate facilities then it will run the risk of being replaced.

  • Central America: 12 Central American clubs will 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 previous Champions League tournaments.
  • Caribbean: If any Caribbean club is precluded, it will supplanted by the fourth place finisher from the 2011 CFU Club Championship.

For the Central American representatives that qualify via split seasons, in nations that play a playoff to determine a national champion, the winner will gain the nation's top spot. In nations that don't utilize such methods, total points over both seasons, followed by other tiebreakers, will determine which team gains the nation's top spot.

Format

Like the previous editions, the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League will feature a two-legged Preliminary Round for 16 clubs.The eight winners of the aggregate series will qualify along with the eight seeded teams that earned a direct spot will enter Group Stage. The clubs involved in 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 Quarterfinals of the Championship Round, which will consist of two-legged, home and away, fixtures. For the two-legged ties, the away goals rule will be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie will be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.[4]

Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) may not be drawn with each other in the Preliminary Round and Group Stage, but may be drawn with each other in the Championship Round, where the only restriction is that in the quarterfinals, a group winner will be drawn with the runner-up of another group and will host the second leg.
