May 13 – USA vs Haiti and Mexico vs Jamaica will open the Concacaf W Championship on July 4 at Estadio Universitario in Monterrey, Mexico.
The final will be played on July 18 at Monterrey’s Estadio BBVA.
The W Championship is the first major competition in Concacaf’s makeover of its women’s national team competition structure that is designed to create more meaningful matches for the region’s leading teams as well as a clear competitive development platform for nations that are in the earlier stages of building their women’s programmes.
The new women’s competition programme – started in 2021 and running through to 2024 on the current plan – will include the launch of a Women’s Gold Cup in 2024 that will see leading national teams from outside the Concacaf region invited to compete against Concacaf’s elite.
The 2022 W Championship will qualify four teams for the Women’s World Cup Australia and New Zealand 2023 with the winner also qualifying for the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics.
The third placed teams in each of the two groups of four, will qualify for a 2023 World Cup Intercontinental Playoff.
At the 24-team, 2019 Women’s World Cup in France, Concacaf had three representatives; USA, Canada and Jamaica. At the expanded 32-team 2023 World Cup, if their two teams win their inter-continental play-offs, Concacaf could have six.
