October 10 – Concacaf is taking the next two editions of its final four Nations League tournaments in 2025 and 2027, to the SoFi Stadium in Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California.
It is the second time that Concacaf has taken a major final to the SoFi Stadium having staged a sold-out Gold Cup final there in 2023 between Mexico and Panama. The 2025 event will also be the most ambitious staging of a Concacaf finals tournament to date, with a Fan Zone and music concert planned.
The SoFi Stadium will also be a host venue for the Concacaf Gold Cup in 2025 as well as World Cup in 2026.
As part of the Nations League hosting Hollywood Park will hold a concert at the YouTube Theatre as well as run a four-day-long Fan Zone where fans can participate in a range of activities from taking photographs with the CNL Winner’s Trophy and former players, participating in interactive games, and enjoying culinary experiences from the participating nations.
“We are extremely pleased that SoFi Stadium – one of the best venues in the world – will host the next two editions of our Concacaf Nations League Finals and that Hollywood Park, in which the stadium is based, will host a range of fan activities to celebrate this tremendous competition. The Concacaf Nations League has transformed men’s national team football in our confederation, providing opportunities for all our federations to thrive and compete to reach their next level,” said Concacaf president, Victor Montagliani.
The fourth edition of the Nations League Finals will take place March 20 to 23, 2025. The semi-final matches will open the tournament as a double header, followed by a concert featuring a top artist at YouTube Theater. The third-place match and the final will be played on Sunday, March 23.
The USA have won the first three editions of the Nations League beating Mexico in the finals each time in 2021 in Denver, 2023 in Las Vegas, and 2024 in Dallas.
The USA along with Mexico, Canada, and Panama are pre-seeded into the quarter final to be played in September. The other four quarterfinal slots will be filled by the top two teams from two groups of six that kicked off in September.
Costa Rica and Guatemala currently lead Group A while Jamaica and Nicaragua top Group B.
Adolfo Romero, Vice President Programming and Booking, SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park, said: “This partnership to host the Nations League Finals at SoFi Stadium and a concert at YouTube Theater further solidifies Hollywood Park as a premier global destination bringing sports and entertainment together for a world-class event like Nations League week.”
