Daily News | The Union will face El Salvador’s Alianza FC to start next year’s Concacaf Champions League
n, after their inaugural voyage in 2021 saw them reach the semifinals. Repeating that feat will be harder this time. If the Union beat Alianza, they’ll face Mexico’s Atlas or Honduras’ Olimpia instead of a MLS team like they did two years ago, Atlanta United. And because of the draw rules, the Union already know the order of games: at Subaru Park some time from April 4-6, and on the road April 11-13.
If the Union make the semifinals, an epic matchup could await them. The other part of their side of the bracket has the Vancouver Whitecaps playing Honduras’ Real España and Los Angeles FC playing Costa Rica’s Alajuelense. A semifinal rematch of the MLS Cup final would get everyone’s attention real fast.
The draw was simple, with eight teams from MLS and Mexico in the higher-seeded pot and eight other teams in the lower-seeded pot. And it was done in just half an hour, unlike FIFA’s perennially-slow World Cup draw shows. Of the other MLS teams, Champions League debutant Austin FC got the easiest draw on paper against Haiti’s Violette AC. Fellow debutant Orlando City undoubtedly got the hardest: Mexican powerhouse Tigres UANL, the only Mexican team in the lower-seed pot.Games are listed in the order of the bracket.Pachuca vs. Motagua Atlas vs. Olimpia
