After learning who it would play in the Gold Cup group stage last week, the U.S. men’s national team now knows where it will play.
CONCACAF released the schedule for the 2023 Gold Cup on Tuesday, just days after conducting the draw at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, which will host the final on July 16.
The USMNT will have the honor of opening this year’s Gold Cup on June 24 when it faces Jamaica at Soldier Field in Chicago.
The defending champions will then face the winner of preliminary game No. 9 (one of Curaçao, Saint Kitts and Nevis, French Guiana, or Sint Maarten) on June 28 at CITYPARK in St. Louis, and will conclude Group A play with a match against Nicaragua at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte on July 2.
Should the USMNT advance from Group A, its quarterfinal would be on July 9 at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati. The semifinal will then be held on July 12 at either Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego or Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with each stadium set to host one semifinal match.
Meanwhile, Mexico will begin its Group B campaign against Honduras at Houston’s NRG Stadium on June 25, and then face Haiti at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on June 29 and Qatar at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on July 2.
