Ahead of the opening matches next week, Concacaf has confirmed the official rosters for the Champions Cup, with all 27 participating clubs submitting squads of up to 35 players.
For the first time in the competition’s history, four Canadian clubs will take part, with Vancouver FC notably qualifying via the Canadian Championship despite finishing last in league play.
Teams that registered fewer than 35 players may continue to add players up to 44 hours before each match, as long as they do not exceed the maximum. Once a player is registered, they cannot be removed or replaced. Clubs must then select between 18 and 23 players from their roster to form the final matchday squad, also due 44 hours prior to kickoff.
