Teams from the same association (excluding "wildcard" teams which replace a team from another association) could not be drawn with each other in the group stage, and each group was guaranteed to contain a team from either the United States or Mexico, meaning U.S. and Mexican teams could not play each other in the group stage.http://www.concacaf.com/article/concacaf-champions-league-20132014-regulations CONCACAF Champions League 2013/2014 Regulations CONCACAF.com June 4, 2013 2013-07-02 https://web.archive.org/web/20130710183301/http://www.concacaf.com/article/concacaf-champions-league-20132014-regulations 2013-07-10 dead Seeding The following were the group stage seeding of the 24 teams which qualified for the Champions League: Pot AMEX TijuanaMEX AméricaUSA LA GalaxyUSA San Jose EarthquakesCRC HeredianoHON 1949 OlimpiaGUA ComunicacionesPAN Árabe UnidoPot BMEX TolucaMEX Cruz AzulUSA Houston DynamoUSA Sporting Kansas CityCRC AlajuelenseHON 1949 VictoriaSLV Isidro MetapánCAN Montreal ImpactPot CGUA HerediaSLV Luis Ángel FirpoPAN Sporting San MiguelitoNCA Real EstelíCRC CartaginésTRI W ConnectionHAI ValenciaTRI Caledonia AIA Format In the group stage, each group was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis.
