Liga MX giants Cruz Azul will host Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the Concacaf Champions Cup final on June 1 at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City, the usual home of rivals Pumas UNAM.

Cruz Azul and the Whitecaps will not only be competing for the Concacaf Champions Cup title, but also for a spot in the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2025 Intercontinental Cup. Alongside the $4 million prize money, the winner will gain significant sporting advantages.

Striker Angel Sepulveda scored on a penalty kick late in the match and Cruz Azul defeated the UANL Tigres 1-0 to progress to the CONCACAF Champions Cup final where they will play the Vancouver Whitecaps.
