Just like the last time they were in the Concacaf Champions League, the Seattle Sounders will open against a Honduran team based in the capital city of Tegucigalpa. This time, however, it’s FC Motagua who will be their opponent. CD Olimpia, who shares their stadium with Motagua, knocked out the Sounders in penalties in 2020.
The first round of matches are scheduled to be played Feb. 15-17 and 22-24. The Sounders will host the return leg.
Although the Sounders have previously played at Estadio Tiburcio Carías Andino in the 2015-16 CCL, the 2020 match was moved to San Pedro Sula due to it not being up to Concacaf’s standards.
