History
At CONCACAF's 28th Extraordinary Congress in June 2025, it was announced that the confederation planned to hold an optional tournament for member nations that were already eliminated from 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, as well as associations that were not members of FIFA. The tournament, which would mimic the format of the FIFA Series, would provide meaningful matches for participants before the 2026–27 CONCACAF Nations League. Matches took place at centralized locations, with one location hosting each group in the November 2025 and March 2026 international match windows.[3][4][5]
