Eight clubs — four from MLS and four from Mexico's First Division — will play this summer in the SuperLiga, a new competition that will award $1 million to the winner — the heftiest winner's purse in North American club soccer history.
The eight entrants are the Houston Dynamo, the reigning MLS champion, Los Angeles Galaxy, D.C. United and FC Dallas from MLS and Guadalajara, Mexico's 2006 Torneo Apertura champion, Club America, Morelia and Pachuca, the winner of the 2006 Copa Sudamericana.
The SuperLiga will be played July 24-Aug. 29 with a group phase and knockout phase. All games held in U.S. venues.
Group A will consist of Los Angeles, FC Dallas, Guadalajara and Pachuca. Group B teams are Houston, D.C. United, Club America and Morelia. The entire tournament will be broadcast live in primetime by TeleFutura in the United States and by Televisa and TV Azteca in Mexico.
