Concacaf Reveals USA Host Cities, Stadiums for 2019 Gold Cup

The 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup is going to be an expanded edition, with more host cities, stadiums–and countries–than ever before.

Concacaf revealed the 15 venues in U.S. 13 cities that will play host to the next regional championship, which will also be contested in to-be-named Central American and Caribbean nations for the first time ever.

The newest MLS stadiums–LAFC's Banc of California Stadium and Minnesota United's Allianz Field–will play host to matches, with SI.com's Grant Wahl reporting that the U.S. men's national team will play its first match in the latter. The U.S. is one of six teams to automatically qualify for the first 16-team Gold Cup, with the other five–Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Trinidad & Tobago–coming from the 2018 World Cup qualifying hexagonal.
