PACHUCA, Mexico − For the second time in less than a year, the Crew are playing in a title match.
On Saturday, the Crew will face Liga MX's CF Pachuca, in Pachuca, Mexico, in the club's first CONCACAF Champions Cup final. Along with the title, Columbus will have the chance to secure a spot in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.
The Crew qualified for the CONCACAF Champions Cup when they won the 2023 MLS Cup in December, earning a bye until the round of 16.
Despite scoring only nine goals in the three rounds leading up to the final, the Crew defeated the Houston Dynamo, Tigres and CF Monterrey in two-leg series.
Unlike the previous rounds, the Champions Cup final will be one winner-take-all match.
