Matt Thacker The schedule for the 2013 Gold Cup was released Wednesday. The U.S. men’s national team will face Belize in Portland on July 9, Cuba in Salt Lake City on July 13 and Costa Rica in Hartford, Conn., on July 16.
The tournament will open in Los Angeles with Canada against Martinique followed by Mexico against Honduras. The final will take place at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 28. Get ticket information here.
The Gold Cup, held every two years, serves as the championship for CONCACAF (North and Central America and the Caribbean). With no Confederations Cup berth on the line this year and World Cup qualifying ongoing throughout the year, many national teams are expected to take second-choice squads. For this reason, CONCACAF is considering scaling back and holding the tournament every four years.
CONMEBOL (South America) has announced CONCACAF will take part in a special Copa América in 2016. Previous reports stated the tournament will take place in the United States, but CONCACAF officials say nothing has been decided.
