Teams may be disqualified and replaced if they do not have a stadium for the tournament that CONCACAF deems suitable. If a club fails to meet the standards for its home stadium, this club must find a suitable stadium in its own country. If said club fails to provide the adequate facilities, it runs the risk of being replaced.CONCACAF Executive Committee tightens stadium standards for next year’s Champions League http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4514 CONCACAF Official site 2008-11-07 2008-11-12 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090107121009/http://www.concacaf.com/view_article.aspx?id=4514 2009-01-07 Central America: 12 Central American clubs can qualify to the Champions League. If one or more clubs is precluded, it is supplanted by a club from another Central American federation. The reallocation would be based on results from the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League. Caribbean: If any Caribbean club is precluded, it is supplanted by the "2010 CFU Club Championship" 4th-place finisher. For the Central American representatives that qualify via split seasons, in nations that play a playoff to determine a national champion, the winner gains the nation's top spot, and in nations that do not, total points over both seasons, followed by other tiebreakers, determine which team gains the nation's top spot. After having analyzed previous results, the CONCACAF Executive Committee approved a reallocation of berths compared to the previous two seasons, giving Panama one automatic place in the group stage while making both of El Salvador's qualifiers go through the preliminary round.http://www.concacaf.com/page/ConfederationDetail/0,,12813~1884059,00.html CONCACAF Executive Committee alters youth championships qualifying format CONCACAF 2009-11-23 2009-11-24 https://web.archive.org/web/20091127053619/http://www.concacaf.com/page/ConfederationDetail/0,,12813~1884059,00.html 2009-11-27 dead Teams Teams in bold qualify directly for the group stage.

The eight winners of the aggregate series qualified along with the eight seeded teams that earned a direct spot to enter the group stage. The clubs involved in Group Stage were placed into four groups of four with each team playing the others in its group in both home and away matches in a round-robin format. The top two teams from each group advanced to the quarterfinals of the Championship Round, which consisted of two-legged, home and away, knockout fixtures. For the two-legged ties, the away goals rule would be used, but not after a tie enters extra time, and so a tie would be decided by penalty shootout if the aggregate score is level after extra time.http://www.concacaf.com/staticFiles/e7/52/0,,12813~152295,00.pdf CONCACAF Champions League Regulations 2010/2011 2011-02-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20110211085702/http://www.concacaf.com/staticFiles/e7/52/0,,12813~152295,00.pdf 2011-02-11 dead Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) may not be drawn with each other in the preliminary round and Group Stage, but may be drawn with each other in the Championship Round, where the only restriction is that in the quarterfinals, a group winner was drawn with the runner-up of another group and hosted the second leg.
