Concacaf’s 2025 Gold Cup Lands at Snapdragon Stadium, Plus 2 L.A. Venues

Snapdragon Stadium will be among 14 venues across the U.S. and Canada hosting 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup soccer, organizers announced Wednesday.

The tournament, a major precursor to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, will be held next summer and feature 16 men’s national teams.

Along with Snapdragon – home to the San Diego FC men’s soccer team and San Diego Wave women’s soccer team – the Southern California venues for the 18th edition of the Concacaf tournament will be SoFi Stadium in Inglewood and Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, the latter home to the L.A. Galaxy.

It’s the second crack at a Gold Cup Concacaf event for Snapdragon, which hosted the inaugural Concacaf W Gold Cup in February and March. The U.S. women’s team prevailed at the tournament.

Miami-based Concacaf , the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football, will hold the draw for the 2025 tournament on April 10, 2025, with matches to follow June 14 to July 6 .

Mexico is the tourney’s reigning champion after beating Panama 1-0 in the 2023 final at SoFi Stadium. Mexico owns a record nine men’s Gold Cup titles, followed by the U.S. with seven and Canada with one.

“The Concacaf Gold Cup is our flagship event for men’s national teams and the 2025 edition is certain to be a highly competitive tournament that delivers on and off the pitch for the competing teams and their fans,” Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani said in a statement.

“As the last official centralized tournament in our region before the FIFA World Cup 2026, this Gold Cup will provide all participating federations with a great challenge and will be critical to their preparations for World Cup qualification and for participation in the FIFA World Cup itself.”

Venues for the Gold Cup include two others in California – PayPal Park in San Jose and Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and three more in the west – Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona and BC Place in Vancouver, Canada.

Texas has four slots, AT&T Stadium in Arlington. Q2 Stadium in Austin, and NRG Stadium and Shell Energy Stadium, both in Houston.

The remaining venues are in the midwest – U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and CITYPARK in St. Louis.

Following the Gold Cup, Los Angeles is in the mix for the World Cup, with plans for eight matches between June 15 and July 10.
