The 2020 CONCACAF Futsal Championship will be the 7th edition of the CONCACAF Futsal Championship, the quadrennial international futsal championship organised by CONCACAF for the men's national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Guatemala City, Guatemala between 1–10 May 2020.[1] However, on 19 March 2020, CONCACAF announced the decision to postpone the tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the new dates of the tournament to be decided later.[2]

Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CONCACAF qualifiers for the FIFA Futsal World Cup. The top four teams of the tournament qualified for the 2021 FIFA Futsal World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Lithuania as the CONCACAF representatives.[3][4]

A total of 20 teams will play in the tournament. Costa Rica are the defending champions.

Teams

The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Futsal Ranking as of February 2020.[5] A total of 20 teams entered the tournament. The highest-ranked 12 entrants advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked eight entrants had to participate in the qualifying stage, where the four matchups winners advanced to the group stage of the final tournament.[6]

Based on the CONCACAF Futsal Ranking, the 12 teams which entered the group stage were distributed into three pots, with teams in Pot 1 assigned to each group prior to the draw, as follows:[8]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3

The qualifying stage matchups were determined based on the CONCACAF Futsal Ranking, with the highest-ranked team playing the lowest-ranked team, etc. The qualifying stage winners 1, 2, 3 and 4 were then placed in groups A, B, C and D respectively.

If the aggregate score is level at the end of the second match, extra time is played, and if still tied after extra time, the match is decided by a penalty shoot-out (Regulations Article 12.3).[9] The winners of each matchup will advance to the group stage, where they are joined by the 12 highest-ranked teams.

All times are local, CST (UTC−6).
