Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami and the Vancouver Whitecaps are the latest clubs to qualify for the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup.
Inter Miami earned a berth into the continental tournament for the second consecutive year, qualifying because of its place in the MLS Supporter Shield Standings.
Inter Miami leads the standings with 64 points with four games remaining in the 2024 MLS season. The Supporters Shield winner and conference champions qualify, along with the next-best team in the supporters shield standings that has not already qualified. Miami has enough points that it is guaranteed to be that next-best team if it doesn't qualify by winning the shield or the Eastern Conference.
If Messi’s team wins the 2024 MLS Cup, it would secure a bye to the Round of 16 in the Champions Cup.
The Vancouver Whitecaps FC qualified for the tournament after winning the Canadian Championship final against Toronto FC on Wednesday night, when a scoreless game was won 4-2 in a penalty shootout.
So far, 12 of 27 teams have qualified for the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup, which features team from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
The tournament will be held during select weeks from February to June next year.
So far, six MLS teams and six LIGA MX teams have qualified for the tournament:
