FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution will face Mexican side Pumas UNAM in the 2022 Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League (SCCL) Quarterfinal round.

The Revolution qualified for the 2022 SCCL as the Major League Soccer’s 2021 Supporters’ Shield winners. The Revolution once won a continental title as the 2008 SuperLiga champions.
