GOLD CUP
Miami is left out of list of 2025 Gold Cup venues
On Wednesday, Concacaf announced the full list of venues and stadiums where the Gold Cup will be held next year.
The 2025 Gold Cup is beginning to take shape. Today, tournament organizers CONCACAF announced the full list venues, stadiums and cities in which the next edition of the competition will be held - with one notable absentee: Chase Stadium.
The city of Florida was one of the tournament’s big surprises, having hosted four Gold Cup matches in the 2023 edition, all of them in the group stage. Chase Stadium hosted Trinidad and Tobago vs. Saint Kitts and Nevis, El Salvador vs. Martinique, Costa Rica vs. Panama and Guatemala vs. Cuba.
Miami also hosted the preliminaries of the 2021 and 2023 Gold Cup, with Chase Stadium being the venue that determined the final guests in the oldest club-level tournament in the area.
Back in July, Florida’s Hard Rock Stadium hosted the 2024 Copa América final in which Argentina collected its 16th title after beating Colombia 1-0 courtesy of a Lautaro Martínez winner in extra-time.

Miami’s chances of hosting the 2025 Club World Cup
In addition to the city of Miami, it is striking that other cities in the East such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Philadelphia, New York and Boston were also not considered to host the Concacaf tournament, which opens the possibility that they could host the new expanded edition of the Club World Cup.
The 2025 Club World Cup will take place from June 15 to July 13, coinciding with the organization of the Concacaf tournament. As both tournaments will be held in the United States, the selection of venues has to be carefully considered.
As of the moment, FIFA has not disclosed the list of stadiums where the tournament will be played although conformation is expected at some point within the next week.
The identities of eight possible venues have emerged: Lumen Field (Seattle), the Rose Bowl (Pasadena), Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens), Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta), Inter&Co Stadium (Orlando), MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford), Red Bull Arena (Harrison) along with an undisclosed venue in Philadelphia - possibly Subaru Park or Lincoln Financial Field.
