User:Quidster4040/sandbox/2020–21 CONCACAF SuperLiga group stage

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2020–21 CONCACAF SuperLiga group stage began on 22 September 2020 and ended on 7 January 2021. A total of 32 teams competed in the group stage to decide 16 of the 32 places in the knockout phase of the 2020–21 CONCACAF SuperLiga.

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the SuperLiga

[edit]

The group stage of the 2020–21 CONCACAF SuperLiga was heavily impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. To minimize travel and risk of exposure to SARS coronavirus-2, the group stage matches were played at predetermined neutral locations with three "bubbles" being held to host the six matches of group stage, similar to the qualification rounds being held at neutral locations. All group stage matches were played behind closed doors (unless local regulations allowed restricted capacity). All six matches were played in the United States, with the first two matchdays being held the soccer complex adjacent to DSG Park near Denver in late September. In early November, matchdays three and four were held at the IMG Academy near Tampa. Finally, matchdays five and six were held in early January at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando.

Teams were to report to the facility at least five days prior to the first match. If a player tested positive for SARS coronavirus-2, they were to be placed in quarantine until there were at least three negative consecutive tests. If a team could not field at least 18 players who had tested negative, they would forfeit the match by a 3–0 scoreline.

Due to the neutral site venues, no restrictions on groupings and home/away team restrictions were imposed.

Draw

[edit]

The draw for the group stage was to be held on 28 August 2020, 13:00 EDT, at the Fair Expo Center in Miami. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the draw was moved to the smaller Knight Center Complex in Miami and held on 7 September 2020 at 13:00 EDT.

The 32 teams were drawn into eught groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association could not be drawn against each other. For the draw, the teams were seeded into four pots based on their 2019 CONCACAF club coefficients.

Note: Positions for scheduling do not use the seeding pots, e.g. Team 1 is not necessarily the team from Pot 1 in the draw.
