The North American Football Union, often referred to by the acronym NAFU, is a regional grouping under CONCACAF of national football (soccer) organizations in the North American Zone.[1]

Contents

Members

The NAFU consists of three of the four North American CONCACAF members:

  1.  Canada
  2.  Mexico
  3.  United States

The 4th North American member,  Bermuda, currently is a Caribbean Football Union (CFU) member.[clarification needed]

Competitions

National teams

The three teams are always qualified to the final stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, so there is no qualifying tournament for this zone unlike the tournaments for the Central American Football Union (UNCAF) and the Caribbean Football Union (CFU). However, as members of CONCACAF there were two tournaments previous to the Gold Cup.

  • 1990 North American Championship[2]
  • 1991 North American Championship[3]

Clubs

There is a club tournament between two North American Zone leagues. It is an official tournament that is sanctioned by the CONCACAF, but it is not organized by the federation.[4] When CONCACAF Champions Cup zone qualifiers were used for North American zone, Bermudian clubs played against Mexican and/or American clubs.
