Inglewood, CA (September 25, 2024)– CONCACAF has today announced key details about the 2025 Gold Cup, the Confederation’s flagship men’s national team championship, including the date for the tournament draw, match dates, and its return to SoFi Stadium among the 14 stadiums in the United States and Canada that will host the competition’s matches.

“SoFi Stadium is proud to host the prestigious Gold Cup once again, reinforcing its status as a premier venue for world-class soccer,” said Adolfo Romero, vice president programming and booking, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park. “Having successfully staged major international tournaments and thrilling matches, SoFi Stadium has proven itself as a cornerstone of soccer in Los Angeles, welcoming passionate fans from across the globe.”

Mexico is the reigning champion of the CONCACAF men’s Gold Cup, having defeated Panama by a score of 1-0 in the 2023 Final at a sold-out SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Mexico also holds a record nine men’s Gold Cup titles, followed by the United States with seven and Canada with one.

Regarding this exciting 2025 Gold Cup announcement, CONCACAF President and FIFA Vice President, Victor Montagliani, said: “The Concacaf Gold Cup is our flagship event for men’s national teams and the 2025 edition is certain to be a highly competitive tournament that delivers on and off the pitch for the competing teams and their fans. As the last official centralized tournament in our region before the FIFA World Cup 2026, this Gold Cup will provide all participating federations with a great challenge and will be critical to their preparations for World Cup qualification and for participation in the FIFA World Cup itself. The tournament will create a tremendous opportunity for fans across the confederation to engage with the sport at such a pivotal time for its development.”
