How does the 2022 Concacaf W Championship work?
Eight teams, divided into two groups, are competing in the Concacaf W Championship. The tournament kicks off with round-robin tournament within each group:
-
Group A: United States, Mexico, Jamaica, Haiti
-
Group B: Canada, Costa Rica, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago
How do teams qualify for the Women’s Soccer World Cup?
At the end of round-robin play, the top two teams in each group will advance to the knockout semifinal round and, more importantly, qualify for the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
The two third-ranked teams in each group will qualify for an inter-confederation World Cup playoff, which will be held in February 2023.
What about Olympic qualification?
The winner of the 2022 Concacaf W Championship will qualify for the women’s soccer tournament at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The runner-up and third-place teams will qualify for the Concacaf Olympic play-in, which will be held in September 2023.
To put it bluntly: if you don’t finish in the top-three this July in Mexico, you’re out of the Olympics two years from now in Paris.
