“The venues selected thus far offer a mix of soccer history as well as a taste of the future of the sport in the USA, and we are excited to work with the local host committees to bring the game to fans all over the USA,” said Victor Montagliani, presidet of CONCACAF.
“With the upcoming selection of additional venues in the Caribbean and Central America, the Gold Cup becomes a regional event on even more levels, as CONCACAF continues to focus on making football accessible to more teams, players and fans.”
