CONCACAF's statement on the Fury situation. Sounds like the Fury announced they would be playing in USL in 2019 before receiving sanctioning from CONCACAF.

And this article indicates that the CSA was waiting for USSF approval, which would have been the next step after CSA approval, before approaching CONCACAF for federation approval.

Quote:
The CSA told the Fury it had received a letter from CONCACAF, the regional confederation that oversees North and Central America and the Caribbean, that it would not sanction the franchise playing in the USL.
...
CSA president Steven Reed said his organization is going through its normal procedure, awaiting approval from the U.S. Soccer Federation — which oversees the USL — for its OK for the Fury and other Canadian teams, like PDL clubs, to play in the U.S.

So, basically, a cluster####. But thankfully it distracts from Cavalry's high ticket prices, amirite?
