There’s been a lot of talk about changing CONCACAF’s World Cup qualifying format lately. A few weeks ago it was reported that the the federation would review their format with new president, Victor Montagliani, going as far as calling it “archaic.”
Montagliani spoke with Grant Wahl on a multitude of topics regarding CONCACAF. He addressed the report and confirmed that he is indeed in favor of changing the format, but admits that he doesn’t want to disrupt the two big matches between the USA and Mexico we’re pretty much guaranteed every four years.
Two, he does support changing CONCACAF World Cup qualifying in the next cycle to give more games to smaller countries, but he says he doesn’t want to take away the big USA-Mexico qualifiers that already take place.
