Cruz Azul and Vancouver Meet in CONCACAF Final with History at Stake

The Vancouver Whitecaps and Cruz Azul will meet on Sunday at Mexico City's Estadio Olímpico Universitario in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final.
Vancouver reached the final after a gradual squad build under MLS rules, highlighted by wins against Saprissa, Monterrey, Pumas, and Inter Miami.
Cruz Azul, nine-time Liga MX winners aiming to equal Club America's seven CONCACAF titles, enter the final following victories over Real Hope, Seattle, America, and Tigres UANL.
Whitecaps forward Brian White leads his team with 15 goals this season and has earned a call-up to the US national squad, while Cruz Azul depends heavily on striker Angel Sepulveda, who has netted the most goals in the tournament with a total of seven.
Victory would be the Whitecaps’ first major trophy since joining MLS in 2011 and could make them Canada’s first CONCACAF champion, while Cruz Azul seeks to cement continental dominance at home.
