On Monday, Real Salt Lake found out who they would be facing in the Group Stage of the 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League, after qualifying last season with the 3rd best record in the Western Conference.
In an article by Sean Walker of KSL.com he writes, “The Salt Lake side makes its first foray into the continental championship since 2013, when it went out in the Group Stage. The club advanced to the CCL final in 2010-11, when it lost to Monterrey in the home-and-away aggregate series."
RSL will face El Salvador’s Santa Tecla FC and Guatemala’s CSD Municipal in the Champions League group stage. Walker continues, “a series of home-and-away matches that begin in August, the regional confederation announced Monday in Miami.”
