Concacaf has announced that the opening match of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup – the 18th edition of the Confederation’s flagship men’s national team competition – has been awarded to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The match on Saturday, June 14, will feature the 2025 Concacaf Nations League champions, Mexico, who will seek to defend their Gold Cup title after lifting the trophy at SoFi Stadium in 2023.
Tickets for the opening match will be made available to the public starting Thursday, March 27, at 10:00 am (local time) via Ticketmaster.com.
The match will see Gold Cup action return to SoFi Stadium after hosting the 2023 Final, which saw Mexico defeat Panama 1-0 in front of a sold-out crowd. Mexico holds a record nine men’s Gold Cup titles, followed by the United States with seven and Canada with one.
