Maybe, the only zone would be the Caribbean, which CONCACAF already has its own separate thing for them to get into qualifying with the rest of the continent. Probably keep that and let everyone else play a more together deal.
Other than that you have way less countries in a combined confederation than AFC.
Also a huge difference in a combined Americas federation and AFC is time zones. Travel is more brutal going east and west because of time zones like you do in AFC. In an Americas federation the time zone changes are not near as drastic.
The time zone change between the Middle East and Japan is 6. The time zone change between Brazil and the Mountain time zone is 3. The Pacific time zone is 4, but that’s a small part of America, Canada and Mexico who all three have closer time zones.
With Canada and America having an eastern time zone which is a difference of one, and Mexico having Mountain time and a sliver of central (don’t think there is a stadium in their very little central).
So the biggest time zone difference for Brazil and Mexico would be 3, all others in CONCACAF can keep it at 1.
