About SuperLiga™
The preeminent club tournament of North America, SuperLiga™ will take place for the first time the summer of 2007 and will crown the top club of the region. Eight teams – D.C. United, Houston Dynamo, FC Dallas and the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer and CF Pachuca, CD Guadalajara, Club América and Monarcas Morelia of the Mexican First Division will fight for the North American crown in a tournament modeled after the UEFA Champions League which includes a group phase and a knockout phase with all games held in U.S. venues. In addition to the prestige of capturing this continental honor, the club that emerges as SuperLiga™ champion will take home $1 million dollars in prize money, an unprecedented prize purse in North American soccer history.
