It is the most prestigious international club competition in North American football. The winner of the CONCACAF Champions League qualifies for the FIFA Club World Cup. The tournament is officially known as the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League due to sponsorship reasons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scotiabank Joins CONCACAF as Official Partner )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official Logo Unveiled for Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League )〕 The tournament consists of two stages. The group stage is played from August to October, in which there are eight groups of three teams each. The eight group winners enter the knockout phase, which spans March through May. Unlike its European and South American counterparts, the winners of the CONCACAF Champions League do not automatically qualify for the following season's competition.〔CONCACAF CHAMPIONS LEAGUE REGULATIONS 2013/2014, Rule 3.7, http://www.concacaf.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/CCL1314-Regulations060313pdf.pdf〕 The competition was originally known as the CONCACAF Champions' Cup when it was first organized in 1962. The title has been won by 28 different clubs, 17 of which have won the title more than once. Mexican clubs have accumulated the highest number of victories, with 31 titles in total. The second most successful league has been Costa Rica's Primera División with six titles in total. Mexican sides América and Cruz Azul are the most successful clubs in the competition's history, having won the tournament six times, followed by Pachuca with four titles. The most successful non-Mexican club is Saprissa of Costa Rica with three titles. The only teams to successfully defend the trophy are Cruz Azul, Pachuca, and Monterrey. The current champions of the competition are América, after defeating Montreal Impact 5–3 on aggregate. == Competition format == Each tournament has two parts — a group stage held from August to October, and a knockout phase held from March to May of the following year. The group stage consists of 24 teams playing in eight groups of three teams each, with each team playing the other two teams in its group twice. United States and Mexican sides cannot be drawn into the same group. The winner of each of the eight groups advances to the quarterfinals. Each phase of the knockout rounds (quarterfinals, semifinals, finals) consist of a two-leg home-and-away series with the winner determined by aggregate goal differential.〔(What is CCL? ), Portland Timbers. Retrieved September 29, 2014.〕 Seeding in the knockout phase is determined by performance during the group stage. Prior to the 2012–13 season, the competition had involved four groups of four, with one Mexican team and one U.S. team in each group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CONCACAF Champions League」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
