Changes to CONCACAF World Cup qualification format likely

World Cup qualifying for the United States Men’s National Team could be completely different thanks to the sports hiatus brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. In comments made by CONCACAF president Victory Montagliani, who also sits on the FIFA Council, said today that because of the pandemic, qualifying for the 2022 World Cup may need to be adjusted.

Currently, CONCACAF World Cup qualifying is to be split into two separate formats. For the 6 teams from the confederation with the highest FIFA rankings in June, they would compete in a home-and-away double round robin format that we know as the Hex.
