The CONCACAF Nations League is a proposed international football (soccer) competition. The proposed tournament would take place on dates that are currently allocated for international friendlies on the FIFA International Match Calendar.
The format of the proposed competition has not yet been published, the proposals are to be looked at in further detail at the XXXII CONCACAF Ordinary Congress in Oranjestad, Aruba on 8 April 2017.[1]
In March 2017, Gordon Derrick told the Antigua Observer that the competition would likely begin in 2018.[2]
In May 2017, Raymond Guishard (president of the Anguilla Football Association) told Northern Starting XI that the league would be a tiered system with promotion and relegation between the tiers.[3]
CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani stated that the purpose of the competition was to have a regular schedule of international fixtures for CONCACAF's national teams noting that some teams play less than 10 games in a four year period and needed more competitives games to assist the sport's development in those nations.[4]
