Unlike at this time last year, FC Dallas is not guaranteed a spot in the upcoming 2019 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League, and must pretty much win MLS Cup to qualify for it. It is for that very same reason, that many FC Dallas fans may not even be aware that the 2018 CONCACAF League began several weeks ago, and has already progressed to the semifinals. The winner of the 2018 SCL will advance to the 2019 SCCL, and join the list of already qualified teams awaiting (should they qualify) FC Dallas to join them.
