Toronto FC not expecting to play in CONCACAF Champions League until 2018

As has been speculated here and there over the past month or so, it appears Toronto FC will not return to the CONCACAF Champions League until 2018.

Kurtis Larson of the Sun confirmed over the weekend that TFC are not expecting to be back in the competition this year despite qualifying as winners of the Canadian Championship. That’s because of upcoming changes to the tournament’s format.

Here’s Larson:

TFC qualified for the 2017-18 CCL by way of winning last year’s Canadian Championship.

But incoming changes will see the 2017-18 tournament begin next February instead of this summer.
