The tie was played in a two-legged home-and-away format, with the runners-up of the W Championship, Canada, playing the second leg at home. The team that scored more goals on aggregate over the two legs qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics, as well as the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup while the loser entered qualification for the W Gold Cup.[2] If the aggregate score was level, the away goals rule would have been applied, i.e. the team that scores more goals away from home over the two legs would qualified. If away goals were also equal, then 30 minutes of extra time would have been played, though the away goals rule would not have been applied in extra time. If the score remained level after extra time, the winners would have been decided by a penalty shoot-out.[4]
