NEW YORK -- The Canadian representative will play in Group C at the inaugural CONCACAF Champions League -- if it can get by the champions from Nicaragua.
The three-team tournament to decide the Canadian champion features a double-round-robin showdown between the Vancouver Whitecaps, Toronto FC and the Montreal Impact. The team that emerges from the qualifier will play a home-and-home aggregate series against the Nicaraguan champions for the right to play in the CONCACAF Champions League.
The winning team will be joined by Mexico's Apertura champion Atlante, Olimpia or Marathon of Honduras and the winner between Trinidad's Joe Public and the New England Revolution.
The preliminary round's two legs are set for Aug. 26-Sept. 4. Group play will begin Sept. 16 and finish on Oct. 30, with the quarter-finals not scheduled until February 2008.

Guevara returns to TFC from duty
Amado Guevara arrives to TFC from international duty with Honduras
Amado Guevara is back with Toronto FC after missing four games on international duty with Honduras. The former MLS MVP returned to training at BMO Field on Monday.
Guevara played in World Cup Qualifying games against Puerto Rico, winning the first leg 4-0 in Honduras, and drawing 2-2 in the second leg on Saturday to take the tie 6-2 on aggregate. The win secures Honduras a place in the group stages of CONCACAF qualifying.
"It's great to see him back," said Toronto FC coach John Carver. "When your quality players come back it always gives you a boost. It's like a new signing because he has been away for a long time. He adds something to the squad and obviously it gives me something to think about when I'm picking the team for the weekend, but that's the sort of problem I want."
Carver will assess Guevara's fitness over the next 24 hours. "He looks fine so far. Today was a relatively light session because of the game on Saturday. It was mostly regeneration work today, but on Tuesday we'll do a bit more and find out how his legs are feeling after the travel and the games. I'll assess him then," explained Carver.
