CONCACAF announces 2025 Gold Cup venues, no matches played east of St. Louis

CONCACAF announced the venues for its biannual tournament, to be held in the U.S. in 2025. It is west coast heavy, with none of the 14 stadiums located east of St. Louis.Here is the list of venues:AT&amp;T Stadium - Arlington, TXQ2 Stadium - Austin, TXDignity Health Sports Park - Carson, CANRG Stadium - Houston, TXShell Energy Stadium - Houston, TXSoFi Stadium - Inglewood, CAAllegiant Stadium - Las Vegas, NVU.S. Bank Stadium - Minneapolis, MNState Farm Stadium - Phoenix, AZSnapdragon Stadium&nbsp;- San Diego, CAPayPal Park - San Jose, CALevi's Stadium - Santa Clara, CACITYPARK&nbsp;- St. Louis, MOBC Place - Vancouver, CanadaBC Place, PayPal Park and U.S. Bank Stadium are first-time hosts at the tournament. This will be just the third tournament in which the Gold Cup has had a match in Canada.Five World Cup venues will be participating in this tournament - AT&amp;T Stadium, BC Place, Levi's Stadium, NRG Stadium, and SoFi Stadium. The Gold Cup kicks off on June 14 and will culminate in a final on July 6.

WHAT HAPPENED?

There has been speculation CONCACAF chose its venues to not conflict with the FIFA Club World Cup's selection of stadiums, which is reported to be primarily based on the East Coast. Regardless of venues, this could be a significant tournament for the United States, Mexico, and Canada.With the trio of countries hosting the World Cup the following year, all three sides won't have World Cup qualifiers and this tournament along with the Nations League are the tournaments, where there are trophies at stake before the 2026 World Cup. Will the U.S.'s new manager Mauricio Pochettino elect to bring his best players to this tournament? With the U.S. and Mexico typically alternating between playing their A and B squads in the tournament depending on the year, it will be interesting to see who will take the pitch for all three sides next summer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Despite recent struggles, Mexico remains the standard bearer in this tournament, having won nine times. Their last win came in the 2023 edition of the event. The U.S. is second in trophies in the competition with seven.

DID YOU KNOW?

There will be a draw to determine the upcoming matches of the tournament on April 10, 2025.
