Home-and-away “Hexagonal” kicks off in November as region’s best battle for three-and-a-half World Cup berths

Miami (Wednesday, September 7, 2016) – The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) confirmed this morning the schedule and pairings for the six-team home-and-away series comprising the Final Round of CONCACAF Qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018, known region-wide as known the “Hexagonal.”

Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago and the United States, in alphabetical order, secured places in the final round of qualifying by finishing among the top two of their respective groups in semifinal round play that concluded Tuesday evening.

The placement and schedule for the Final Round was determined according to the group position in which each team finished the semifinal stage. The seeding and order of matches was determined via a draw conducted in July at CONCACAF Headquarters on Miami Beach.

The Hexagonal, a ten-match schedule for each of the contestants, will be played from November of this year through October 2017. The top three finishers advance directly to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The fourth-place team advances to an intercontinental home-and-away play-off to be disputed in November 2017, against a team from the Asian Football Confederation.

The complete schedule can be found below and at www.concacaf.com . The host city and stadium for each match will be determined and announced in turn, by the host federation.
