Toronto FC to open CONCACAF Champions League on Feb. 19 in La Chorrera, Panama

Toronto FC will open its 2019 Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League on Feb. 19 in La Chorrera, Panama, against Club Atletico Independiente.

The return leg of the round-of-16 series will be Feb. 26 at BMO Field.

Should it advance, Toronto will meet either Mexico’s Club Deportivo Toluca or Sporting Kansas City in the March quarter-finals

The MLS club, which reached the final of the 2018 competition, already knew it was playing the Panama team from the Dec. 3 draw in Miami. On Wednesday, the dates for the tie were announced.

Toronto beat the Colorado Rapids and Mexico’s Tigres UANL and Club America to reach the final in April when it lost via penalty shootout to Chivas Guadalajara.
