April 11 – Concacaf has unveiled the official match ball for this summer’s 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup. The ‘Molten Concacaf Gold Vantaggio 5000’ was revealed during the tournament draw in Miami on Thursday and will be used throughout the Gold Cup as well as in future men’s national team competitions.
The ball, designed in a striking gold finish, is built using Molten’s proprietary ACENTEC thermal bonding technology, aimed at enhancing accuracy, control, and visibility in all weather conditions. The design also incorporates diamond motifs that mirror Concacaf’s brand identity and reflect the “pursuit of victory.”
The announcement deepens the ongoing partnership between Concacaf and Molten, which continues to deepen following its launch at the 2023 Gold Cup. The Japanese company supplies match balls across various competitions in the region, and the Gold Cup remains the most high-profile of them.
The 2025 edition of the Gold Cup kicks off on June 14 and runs through July 6, with 16 men’s national teams competing across 14 stadiums in the United States and Canada. The tournament opener will be played at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with the final scheduled for NRG Stadium in Houston.
