USMNT kick off 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup trophy chase against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15 in San Jose, wrap up Group Stage against Haiti in Dallas a week later

<p>The U.S. men's national team's chase for an eighth Gold Cup title will kick off in San Jose, California when they take on Trinidad and Tobago at PayPal Park on June 15.</p><p>That will kick off a busy week for the Americans as they will play guest nation Saudi Arabia at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas four days later before wrapping up against Haiti on June 22 at AT&amp;T Stadium, the famed home of the Dallas Cowboys.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The U.S. last won the Gold Cup in 2021 and are looking to right the ship after a disappointing showing at the CONCACAF Nations League Finals, where they lost to both Panama and Canada in succession.</p><p>The Americans generally have a strong record against their opposition. The USMNT are 5-0-0 (W-L-D) in the Gold Cup against Trinidad and Tobago, although the island nation famously knocked the team out of World Cup qualification in 2018.</p><p>The host nation is 3-0-1 against Haiti and has a mixed record against Saudi Arabia in international competition - losing 3-0 in 1992 before winning 2-0 in 1999.</p><p>The U.S. have a dominant record in the two Texas cities in which they will play, going 5-0-0 in Austin and 6-0-0 at AT&amp;T Stadium.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"Overall, I’m excited about the draw," USMNT head coach Mauricio Pochettino said in a statement. "This is an important opportunity for our team, not only to compete for our confederation championship but also to continue to build our understanding of the group and who will be able to help us be successful at the FIFA World Cup next summer."</p>

WHAT POCHETTINO SAID

<p>Pochettino's side has a pair of friendlies, playing Turkey and Switzerland in Hartford, Connecticut and Nashville, Tennessee, respectively, in early June.</p>
