Getting back to OP dumb questions, what is “CONCACAF”? What does it mean, who belongs to it and what does it do?

CONCACAF (Confederation of North, Central American and Carribean Association Football) is the Cenral American qualifying body/competition.

For this years results and qualifiers and their website.

Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football is FIFA’s regional organising body for football in those areas, in the same way that UEFA is Europe’s regional organising body. It covers 38 national associations “from Canada to Surinam”.

As the administrative body for the region, The Football Confederation organizes competitions, offers training courses in technical and administrative aspects of the game, and builds football throughout the region through funding and other assistance. However the primary function of the Confederation is the organization of competitions for national teams and clubs. It also conducts qualifying tournaments for the FIFA World Cup, the FIFA Women’s World Cup, and FIFA world championships at in youth and beach football as well as futsal.

They also employ a full-time spelling and grammar checker.
