Concacaf announced today the 15 stadiums in 14 metropolitan areas that will host matches of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup, with Inter Miami CF’s home, DRV PNK Stadium, set to host the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup Preliminary Round (Prelims). The 17th edition of Concacaf’s flagship competition for men's national teams will be played between June 16 – July 16 and will crown the best national team in the region.
This will be the second time DRV PNK Stadium will be a venue for Gold Cup matches after hosting the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Preliminary Round (Prelims), while also previously housing numerous international events and teams. In 2022, the stadium saw European giants FC Barcelona play a friendly against Inter Miami, 2022 FIFA World Cup champions Argentina called the team’s facility home-base for a week and trained at DRV PNK Stadium as well, the United States Women’s National Team hosted Germany for a friendly, and Colombia and Paraguay men’s national teams faced off in a friendly in the Club’s ground. DRV PNK Stadium has already hosted international action in 2023 as well, including a friendly between South American powerhouses Club Atlético River Plate and Millonarios FC, and Vasco da Gama facing Inter Miami in preseason in January.
The 2023 Gold Cup is a key part of the region’s vibrant summer of football, which will also include the Final of the Scotiabank Concacaf Champions League on June 4, and the Concacaf Nations League Finals in Las Vegas, NV, between June 15-18.
Regarding this exciting 2023 Gold Cup announcement, Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President, Victor Montagliani, said: “The Concacaf Gold Cup is our flagship competition and showcases the very best of men’s national team football in the region. With each passing edition this competition has reached new heights on and off the pitch and I am certain the 2023 tournament will deliver outstanding football and capture the imagination of fans across our confederation and beyond.
“The 15 host cities and venues we have selected all have strong track records of hosting elite football, and world class events. I want to thank each and every one of them for their commitment to Concacaf, to our Gold Cup and to our sport. This is a tremendous time for football in the region with Nations Leagues, men’s and women’s Gold Cups, and other exciting national team and club competitions taking place over the next three years as we head towards the FIFA World Cup 2026.”
“I look forward with great anticipation to watching the Gold Cup Prelims in June and enjoying compelling football involving all the Gold Cup teams right through to the Final and crowning a champion in Los Angeles on July 16.”
