Houston’s NRG Stadium Awarded 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup Final
14 stadiums in 11 metropolitan areas will host Gold Cup matches
Posted On: October 30, 2024 By :The 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup final will be played at Houston’s NRG Stadium on July 6.
There will be 14 sites in 11 areas used for the tournament, which starts June 14. BC Place in Vancouver, PayPal Park in San Jose and U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis are the three new venues for the tournament. Next year’s CONCACAF Gold Cup will not have any sites east of the Mississippi River as FIFA will utilize stadiums mostly along the Eastern Seaboard in its expanded 32-team Club World Cup.
“Houston’s NRG Stadium is a world-class venue and we know it will deliver a tremendous Gold Cup Final next summer,” said Concacaf President Victor Montagliani. “This stadium has been the scene of many great Concacaf matches in the past, including Gold Cup semifinals and it is an official FIFA World Cup 2026 venue, highlighting just how central this city and stadium will be to the ongoing growth of the sport. On behalf of Concacaf, I want to thank our partners in Houston, including the Texans leadership and everyone at NRG Stadium, for their commitment to our Gold Cup and to the beautiful game.”
This will mark the first time the Gold Cup Final will be played in Texas. NRG Stadium will also host the Gold Cup for a tournament record-high eighth time (2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2019, 2021, and 2023).
Along with NRG Stadium, Shell Energy Stadium in Houston was picked along with two sites in the Los Angeles area, SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, and PayPal Park were chosen from the area south of San Francisco. Other Gold Cup sites are Arlington, Texas (AT&T Stadium); Austin, Texas (Q2 Stadium); Glendale, Arizona (State Farm Stadium); Las Vegas (Allegiant Stadium); San Diego (Snapdragon Stadium and St. Louis (Citypark).
After the group stage, the quarterfinals will be June 28-29 before the semifinals on July 2 and final on July 6. Which sites will host specific games has not been determined. Concacaf will conduct the official draw on April 10, 2025.
