Scotiabank Concacaf League – Update on postponed matches and confirmed schedule for Round of 16
Arcahaie FC (HAI) vs Verdes FC (BLZ)
As part of Concacaf’s extensive testing conducted prior to the Scotiabank Concacaf League (SCL) preliminary round match between Arcahaie FC and Verdes FC, four players and four staff members from Verdes tested positive for COVID-19.
Due to the high proportion of positive tests from one club, Concacaf made the decision to postpone the match. Further information came to light which suggested Concacaf protocols were not fully followed by Verdes in their preparations for this match.
In further discussions with Verdes to consider rescheduling options, the club has informed Concacaf that it has made the decision to withdraw from the competition.
Per competition regulations, Arcahaie FC will advance to the Round of 16 and face Waterhouse FC (JAM) on Thursday, November 5.
LD Alajuelense (CRC) vs Cibao FC (DOM)

Concacaf has rescheduled the match to be played on Wednesday, November 4, at Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto.
