Ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Concacaf still has to conduct its qualifying tournament to determine North America’s two men’s soccer representatives at the quadrennial event.
Across two weeks in March, eight teams will vie for Concacaf’s two Japan-bound spots. Teams are split into Group A and Group B, with only the finalists ultimately booking a ticket.
The various rosters include 35 players from MLS teams. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 1997 are age-eligible for the competition after the COVID-19 pandemic bumped everything back a year.
American audiences can catch Concacaf Olympic Qualifiers on various Fox Sports channels. FS1 will show all but two matches, with a pair of group-stage games (March 19 Honduras vs. Haiti; March 24 Costa Rica vs. Dominican Republic) instead shown on FS2.
Games will also be broadcast in Spanish on TUDN (Mexico & US), while One Soccer will carry matches in Canada.
