Vancouver Whitecaps FC have a chance to make history on Sunday night when they take on Liga MX’s Cruz Azul in the Concacaf Champions Cup final.
Only once in the modern-era of the Concacaf Champions Cup has an MLS team won the title, with Seattle Sounders FC prevailing over Pumas UNAM in 2022.
Before that, D.C. United became the first MLS side to win Concacaf’s premier club competition in 1998, while the LA Galaxy won it in 2000. Despite CF Montréal and Toronto FC making the final in 2015 and 2018, respectively, no Canadian team has ever emerged victorious.
Vancouver have a chance to make the third time the charm for Canadian clubs and become the fourth MLS team to prevail, instead of becoming the seventh MLS club to fall with the trophy on the line.
