CONCACAF has announced that the 2022 W Championship, which will qualify the region’s top teams to the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 and the winner directly to the 2024 Paris Olympics, will take place in Monterrey, Mexico.
The tournament is scheduled for July 4th to 18th 2022.
The CONCACAF W Championship is a key competition in the new Women’s National Teams ecosystem announced in August last year as part of the Confederation’s “CONCACAF W” strategy which aims to transform women’s football in the region.
CONCACAF’s new Women’s National Teams competitions begin this week with the CONCACAF W Qualifiers, which will see 30 nations competing. Trinidad and Tobago faces Nicaragua in their first match of the competition on Thursday at the Hasely Crawford Stadium from 3pm.
The teams were split into six Groups of five in a draw held last year and at the end of their February and April matches, the six Group winners will progress to the CONCACAF W Championship, where they will join the region’s top two ranked Women’s National teams Canada and USA, who received a bye directly to the tournament in Monterrey.
