2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League |
The CONCACAF Champions League, formerly the CONCACAF Champions' Cup, is an association football competition established in 1971 by CONCACAF. It is considered the important international competition for North American clubs. Clubs qualify for the Europa League based on their performance in national leagues and cup competitions. For the first 30 years of the competition, the final was contested over two legs, one at each participating club's stadium, but in 1998, América defeated Alajuelense in the competition's first single-legged final held at a neutral venue, the City Stadium in Santa Ana, California. The format returned to a two-legged series in 2003. Guadalajara won the inaugural competition in 1962, defeating Comunicaciones 6–0 on aggregate.
Twelve finals have featured teams from the same national association: Mexico (1996, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014) and Costa Rica (2004). Cruz Azul holds the record for the most victories, having won the competition six times since its inception. Only three teams, all Mexican, have been able to retain their titles. This includes Monterrey (2011, 2012, 2013), Pachuca (2007, 2008) and Cruz Azul on two separate occasions (1969, 1970, 1971 and 1996, 1997). By far, teams from Mexico have won the most titles, winning 31 competitions out of the tournament's 52 editions. In fact, all other teams combined are still less than Mexico's total. Since the rebranding of the Champions League, the competition has only had Liga MX champions and finalists, except on two occasions, where Major League Soccer teams reached the final (2011 and 2015), and lost on both occasions. The last champions before the Champions' Cup was renamed to CONCACAF Champions League were Pachuca, who beat Saprissa 3–2 on aggregate in the 2008 finals. Robinhood hold the record for the most losses in the final of this competition with five. The current champions are América, who defeated Montréal Impact 5–3 in the 2015 finals.
