The 2016 CONCACAF Champions League Final was the final of the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League, the 8th edition of the CONCACAF Champions League under its current format, and overall the 51st edition of the premium football club competition organized by CONCACAF, the regional governing body of North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

The final was contested in two-legged home-and-away format between Mexican teams UANL and América. The first leg was hosted by UANL at Estadio Universitario in San Nicolás de los Garza on April 20, 2016, while the second leg was hosted by América at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on April 27, 2016.[1] The winner earned the right to represent CONCACAF at the 2016 FIFA Club World Cup, entering at the quarterfinal stage.[2]

América defeated UANL 4–1 on aggregate to win their second consecutive and seventh overall CONCACAF club title.[3][4]

Background

For the sixth time in eight seasons of the CONCACAF Champions League, the final was played between two Mexican sides. This guaranteed a Mexican champion for the 11th straight year and 32nd time since the confederation began staging the tournament in 1962 (including the tournament's predecessor, the CONCACAF Champions' Cup).

América were the defending champions and also the record holders of six CONCACAF club titles (1977, 1987, 1990, 1992, 2006, 2014–15), which they achieved in last year's final, where they beat Montreal Impact.

This was the first CONCACAF club final of UANL, although they had played in a continental club final before, where as a guest team they lost in last year's Copa Libertadores final to River Plate.

Rules

The final was played on a home-and-away two-legged basis, with the higher-seeded team hosting the second leg. The away goals rule would be used if the aggregate score was level after normal time of the second leg, but not after extra time, and so the final would be decided by penalty shoot-out if the aggregate score was level after extra time of the second leg.[2]
