The United States Men’s National Team’s reign as CONCACAF Nations League champions requires immediate defense, with a quick turnover from one edition to the next, to say nothing of the spot in the 2024 Copa América on the line. Unlike previous competitions, a less exigent pathway lies ahead due to this year’s format allowing four teams to skip past the group stage. Entering into the two-leg quarterfinal round, the first challenge is Trinidad and Tobago, a familiar foe that has struggled to gain traction in recent years. The initial match will be at Austin’s Q2 Stadium, a 20,738-seat arena with Platinum TE Seashore Paspalum grass that has hosted seven international meetings; the away fixture is set for Hasely Crawford Stadium – a 22,575-seat venue with a grass surface – in the capital city of Port of Spain.
