Canada gains for CONCACAF hexagonal qualifying berth.
•September 19, 2019
Canada closed in on a spot among the top six teams who will compete for three World Cup berths in the North and Central American and Caribbean region.
Canada moved into seventh place in the region in the September FIFA rankings released Thursday, just behind El Salvador. The Canadians defeated Cuba 6-0 and 1-0 in the CONCACAF Nations League and passed Panama, which lost 2-0 to Bermuda. The Canadians' next two Nations League games are against the United States.
The top six CONCACAF teams in next June's rankings will play for three World Cup berths during qualifying from September 2020 through September 2021, known as the hexagonal. All the other teams in the region will compete for the right to meet the fourth-place team in the hex in a playoff. The playoff winner will play a nation from another region for a spot in the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
Canada is just five points behind El Salvador in the rankings. Mexico leads the region and is ranked 12th in the world, followed in the region by the U.S. (21), Costa Rica (43), Jamaica (47), Honduras (67), El Salvador (72) and Canada (75).

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE CONCACAF NATIONS LEAGUE.
The U.S. Men’s National Team will round out its 2019 campaign by taking part in the inaugural Concacaf Nations League. Here are five things to know about the new competition:
WHAT IS IT? Similar to the recently launched UEFA Nations League, Concacaf’s version was created to maximize the quality, quantity and frequency of competitive matches for all of the confederation’s 41 Member Associations.
HOW DO TEAMS QUALIFY? A four-game qualifying tournament for the Concacaf Nations League began in September 2018 and concluded during the March 2019 FIFA international window.
While all 41 Member Associations are part of the competition, the qualifying tournament was used to help place teams in their respective leagues for the 2019-20 Concacaf Nations League: League A, League B and League C.
THE FORMAT Here’s a brief rundown of the tournament format:
League A
Number of Teams: 12 teams
Group Format: Four groups of three teams
Qualifiers: Comprised of the six teams that took part in the final round of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup AND the top six finishers in Nations League Qualifying.
Teams: USA, Bermuda, Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, Curaçao, Haiti, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama and Trinidad & Tobago
League B
Number of Teams: 16 teams
Group Format: Four groups of four teams
Qualifiers: Comprised of the teams which finished 7-22 in Nations League qualifying
Teams: Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Belize, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, French Guiana, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, Nicaragua, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Suriname
League C
Number of Teams: 13 teams
Group Format: Three groups of three teams AND one group of four teams
Qualifiers: Comprised of the teams which finished 23-34 in Nations League qualifying and Guatemala, who was suspended at the beginning of the competition.
Teams: Anguilla, Bahamas, Barbados, Bonaire, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Puerto Rico, Saint Martin, Sint Maarten, Turks and Caicos and U.S. Virgin Islands
The Group Phase for each league is a round-robin, home-and-away format which runs during the course of the September, October and November FIFA international dates in 2019. At the end of the round-robin competition, the League A and B teams which finish last in their groups will be relegated to the lower league, while the group winners in Leagues B and C will be promoted to the higher league for the next edition of the competition.
Additionally, the four group winners from League A will advance to the Knockout Round where a semifinal and final will be played during the June FIFA international dates to crown the 2019-20 Concacaf Nations League champion. The semifinal matchups will place the No. 1 seed vs. No. 4 and No. 2 seed vs. No. 3.
According to the competition regulations, seedings will be based on these group stage tiebreakers: 1) total number of points, 2) goal differential, 3) goals scored, 4) greatest number of goals scored in away matches, 5) Fair Play rankings, 6) drawing of lots.
WHAT ELSE IS AT STAKE? In short, plenty.
First, the competition represents the last competitive matches which Concacaf nations will play prior to the publishing the June 2020 FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings. This is important because in July, Concacaf announced a new World Cup Qualifying format which will see the top six ranked nations in June’s FIFA Ranking go straight into the Final Round, also known as the Hex. With competitive matches weighted higher than friendlies, these games will prove crucial for some teams to make it to the Hex.
Teams not ranked inside the top six aren’t completely shutout of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, but will instead have to go through a second, more rigorous playoff track involving 29 teams and between 14-16 additional qualifying matches for each, just for the opportunity to claim the final spot. Suffice to say, there’s a lot of benefit to being in the top six come June 2020.
Additionally, Concacaf announced in September that the 2019-20 Nations League would serve as a primary qualifying track for the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup. The group winners and runners up in League A (eight teams), along with the group winners in League B (four teams) will automatically qualify for the next confederation championship.
A further qualifying process will occur to make up the 16-team field, with the League C winners facing off against the League B runners-up in two-leg, home-and-away playoffs, with the winners going up against the League A third-place teams in a similar two-leg tie. The four victors from those series will fill out the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup field.
THE DRAW AND STANDINGS The 2019-20 Concacaf Nations League Draw took place March 27, 2019 at The Chelsea Theater in Las Vegas. The USA was drawn into League A, Group A against northern neighbors Canada and Caribbean foe Cuba. Those two teams already played their matches against each other during the September window, giving Canada poll position at the moment.
