AT&T Stadium will be one of 14 venues for the 2025 Gold Cup, a tournament that Concacaf organizes every two years with national teams from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.
This will be the seventh time that the Dallas Cowboys’ home will host matches in this tournament, of which Mexico is the current champion.
Mexico also owns a record nine Gold Cup titles, followed by the United States with seven and Canada with one.
Gold Cup matches will be played in 14 stadiums and 11 metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada between June 14 and July 6 and will feature 16 national teams.

“The Gold Cup is our premier event for men’s national teams and the 2025 edition will undoubtedly be a highly competitive tournament,” Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani said.
“As the last official centralized tournament in our region before the 2026 FIFA World Cup, this Gold Cup will represent a great challenge for all participating federations and will be instrumental in their preparation towards the FIFA World Cup,” Montagliani said.
