CONCACAF Champions League 2023 schedule, bracket, scores, TV channel and live streams

The CONCACAF Champions League is an annual tournament that crowns the best club side in North America, including Central America and the Caribbean. (CONCACAF is the acronym for Confederation of North, Central America, and Carabian Association Football.)

The 2023 edition will see 16 clubs battle over four rounds of knockout play (Round of 16 to the final) to determine which team will be left standing on June 4 and succeed the Seattle Sounders, who hoisted the trophy in 2022 but will not get to defend their title after failing to qualify.

The 16 clubs that are taking part in 2023 each qualified through domestic or continental competitions. A tournament draw in November 2022 set up the matchups and full bracket for the competition from the Round of 16 through to the final. The winner of each series will be the team that scores the most total goals over two legs.

In addition to take home a prestigious trophy and a chunk of prize money, the winner also earns a berth to the 2023 FIFA Club World Cup to take on champions from other regions of the world.

CONCACAF Champions League winners all-time

CONCACAF’s premier club competition was revamped and rebranded as the CONCACAF Champions League beginning with the 2008-09 edition.

The 14 editions of the Champions League have been dominated by Mexican clubs, with 13 straight titles before U.S.-based club Seattle Sounders broke that stranglehold in 2022.

Such was Mexico’s domination that nine of the 14 finals have been all-Mexican affairs, and at least one Mexican club has made it to every final.

Monterrey have won the Champions League five times since 2010-11. Their rivals Tigres finally won it in 2020 after a stretch of losing three of four finals.

米ディズニーが住宅地開発参入 テーマパーク運営のノウハウ活用し一戸建てや集合住宅で街づくり

米ウォルト・ディズニーは16日、西部カリフォルニア州で住宅地開発に参入すると発表した。テーマパーク運営のノウハウを活用して、住民向けサービスの充実した街を開発する。カリフォルニア州南部コーチェラバレーの湖を囲んだ24エーカー(約9万7000平方メートル)の土地で、創業者ウォルト・ディズニー自身が家をかつて所有していた。ディズニー社が街全体のコンセプト作りを主導し、不動産開発業者や住宅建設業者と組んで一戸建てや集合住宅などを設ける。一部に55歳以上のシニア向け区画を用意する。会員専用のビーチや娯楽施設のほか、商業施設やレストラン、ホテルなども開発する。ディズニー式のサービスの訓練を受けた従業員がコミュニティーを運営し、料理教室の開催や慈善活動を行う計画だ。米国内の他の場所での開発も検討している。(共同)
