The hook at present does not appear to meet
WP:DYKINT as it is not a hooky hook or one that is likely to attract a broad audience. Pinging
SounderBruce to help suggest possible alternative hooks.

I think the only decent hook that can come from the article is that New England has played
Alajuelense three times in their five CCC/CCL seasons, which is a bit unusual. Of course, this needs to be added to the article first with a good source. SounderBruce 04:42, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Thanks
Narutolovehinata5 and
SounderBruce, I've added the suggested hook (ALT2), as well as three other alternates. One of the challenges in this article is finding hooks that I could reasonably bold-link the article in. I haven't seen any examples of DYK's in the other "international competition" articles I've looked at either.

I think ALT4 has promise and in fact I think it's the only proposal that isn't too reliant on specialist knowledge to be interesting. I'd suggest striking out the others and just focusing on ALT4.

Sounds good, I've crossed out each of the other hooks.

Overall: The article looks good. As for the hook, I'm not sure I see it being called a "home" game – the article itself only notes They faced Liga Deportiva Alajuelense of Costa Rica. Due to logistical issues, both matches were hosted in Costa Rica. The source itself says that "The Revolution surrendered their home game opportunity" unless I'm missing something. @

BeanieFan11: I see your point, and I've added a second source to ALT4 which clearly refers to this match as a home game.
