The Concacaf W Championship kicked off last night in Monterrey, Mexico with a Group A doubleheader. The USWNT defeated Haiti 3-0 off an Alex Morgan brace and Midge Purce’s first Concacaf goal, while Jamaica upset host Mexico 1-0 in the nightcap. Action continues tonight with Costa RIca facing Panama, and Olympic champions Canada taking on Trinidad & Tobago.
The regional tournament serves as qualifying for the both the 2023 Women’s World Cup and the 2024 Olympics. There are two groups of four teams each; top two teams in each group qualify for Australia-New Zealand 2023, and the two 3rd-place teams will qualify for the Women’s World Cup playoff tournament that will be held in New Zealand next February.
