The 16 teams qualified for the Gold Cup: When is the draw, key dates, and stadiums

The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup will take place from June 14 to July 6, with matches hosted in the United States (13 stadiums, mostly in the West) and Canada (only in Vancouver). On Tuesday, March 25, the 16 teams competing for the title were finalized after seven qualification matches.

The tournament will feature 16 teams: 15 from Concacaf, who qualified through sporting merit, and one invited team, Saudi Arabia. Mexico enters as a strong contender after winning the Concacaf Nations League, but the U.S. aims to reclaim the title. Keep an eye on Panama, Canada, and teams that dominated the qualifiers, like Costa Rica.
