This was the classification of Concacaf (and Mexico) for the Copa América 2024
And why does Mexico have to play against Honduras to find its ticket? The thing was like this: Concacaf’s qualification for the 2024 Copa América was through the Nations League, which is divided into three leagues: A, B and C. There were 16 teams in League A for the 2023-24 edition and those 16 are the ones that had the right to fight for a place in the Conmebol tournament.
- The Nations League League A 2023-24 It had two groups of six teams and the remaining 4 advanced directly to the quarterfinals. Those 4 that advanced directly were the best classified in the March 2023 FIFA ranking (United States, Mexico, Costa Rica and Canada).
- From the two aforementioned groups, two teams qualified, four in total: Jamaica, Honduras, Panama and Trinidad and Tobagowhich They join the 4 already qualified in the quarterfinals.
- The four winners of those quarterfinals (to be played round-trip in November 2023) They will qualify for the Copa América 2024.
Now, In case Mexico loses those quarterfinals against Honduras, it could still go to the 2024 Copa América. The four losers will play a single-game playoff in March 2024, and The two winners also go to the Copa América.
Everything is a little mixed up, but the point is that Mexico has practically secured a ticket to the Copa América 2024. As I said, it would be embarrassing not to go with all the facilities, although well, the Women’s National Team has already shown that even with six safe places in Concacaf they can be left out of a large tournament.
The road to the 2026 World Cup is ready
Ahh by the way, the format to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Mexico, the United States and Canada already have a secure ticket, so the remaining 32 Concacaf teams will look for one of the three direct tickets or one of the two playoff tickets in three rounds:
- First round: The 4 lowest ranked teams in the FIFA ranking will play in two series and the two losers will be eliminated.
- Second round: The 30 remaining teams will be divided into six groups of 5 teams. The top two places from each advance to the third round.
- Third round: Three groups of 4 teams. The first places of each qualify for the 2026 World Cup and the two best seconds go to the intercontinental repechage.
