Gold Cup 2017: Mexico group and venues unveiled

CONCACAF announced on Monday the venues and dates for the 2017 Gold Cup, as well as the group assignments for Mexico and the United States.

The 14th edition of the Gold Cup will be disputed across 13 U.S cities, and headlining Group C, CONCACAF has selected San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium, Denver’s Sports Authority Field, and San Antonio’s Alamodome as Mexico’s three group stage venues.

The tournament itself will open on July 7 with a doubleheader at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey.

The knockout round venues will all mostly take place in the southwest, but the full schedule and Final assignment, along with the complete groups, will be announced next year.

As expected, the winner earns a place in the CONCACAF Cup, a one-game playoff to decide who represents CONCACAF in the 2021 Confederations Cup.
