The 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup qualification competition, also known as the Road to CONCACAF W Gold Cup, is an upcoming women's football tournament that will be contested by 33 of the senior women's national teams of the member associations of CONCACAF. The competition will decide 6 of the 12 participating teams of the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup, the inaugural edition of the W Gold Cup. The league stage of the qualifying will be played between September and November 2023, with the three League A group winners quliafying for the final tournament. Three additional teams will qualify via the play-off round, contested in April 2024 by the League A group runners-up and the League B group winners. These six teams will join the two CONCACAF teams qualified for the Olympics and four guests at the W Gold Cup, to be contested in June 2024.[1][2]

Format[]

On 10 December 2020, the CONCACAF Council approved the structure and calendar of the competition. The qualification competition, known as the "Road to Concacaf W Gold Cup", will begin with the group stage, featuring 33 women's national teams of CONCACAF split into three leagues (A, B and C). Each league will feature three groups, containing three teams each in League A, and four teams each in Leagues B and C. The teams in each group will play against each other home-and-away in a double round-robin format. The top three teams in League A will qualify directly for the W Gold Cup. The three group runners-up of League A and the three League B group winners will participate in a play-in in April 2024 to compete for the final three spots at the W Gold Cup. The two CONCACAF women's national teams that qualify for the Summer Olympics in 2024 will not participate in the group stage, and will receive a bye directly to the W Gold Cup.[2]

Teams[]

In total, 33 of the 41 CONCACAF member associations will enter the qualification competition, not including the two CONCACAF teams that qualify for the Summer Olympics. The teams will be split into three leagues based on the CONCACAF women's ranking as follows:

  • League A: Top 9 ranked teams, divided into three groups of three teams
  • League B: Next 12 best-ranked teams, divided into three groups of four teams
  • League C: Lowest 12 ranked teams, divided into three groups of four teams
