Final round

edit

Originally scheduled for March 1998 in Dallas with as quarterfinals Necaxa vs. Olimpia and Platense vs. Municipal; winners of the first were to play Cruz Azul in the semifinal; winners of the second were to play Dallas Burn in the second semifinal. Format was changed for "scheduling and technical reasons".

The Dallas Burn hosted the 1998 CONCACAF Cup Winners' Cup tournament at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on March 4, 6 and 8. The six-team tournament, was going to consist of three doubleheaders. It was going to feature United States  Dallas Burn, defending champion Mexico  Necaxa, 1997 Mexican Cup champion Mexico  Cruz Azul, and Honduras  Olimpia who had defeated Costa Rica  Belen.

The two remaining spots were going to be filled by the winner of the Guatemala  Municipal vs. Panama  Plaza Amador and the winner of the Honduras  Platense vs. Curaçao  Jong Colombia. "This is a tremendous honor to host this tournament and an extremely high level of competition", said Burn GM Billy Hicks. " Necaxa, Cruz Azul and Olimpia are some of the best, most decorated champions on this half of the planet."[3]
