CONCACAF Gold Cup 2025 Draw: What you need to know about every team, from the USMNT and Canada to Mexico and Curacao

In the modern-day Gold Cup, the U.S. are the second most successful team, only trailing Mexico in terms of titles with seven wins to El Tri's nine. They have qualified for every edition of the competition since 1991, and were named champions as recent as 2021.

In the 2023 edition, the U.S. took fourth place; only their second result seeing them finish outside the top-three of the tournament - they finished fourth in 2015 as well.

Under manager Mauricio Pochettino, the U.S. will look to forget their last month's poor CONCACAF Nations League showing, and enter the Gold Cup with an intention to march to the final. Led by AC Milan star Christian Pulisic, the USMNT hope to return to winning ways as they prepare to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The winningest team in Gold Cup history, El Tri will look to return to the top in the Gold Cup this summer after a brilliant Nations League showing last month that saw them clinch the title for the first time in their history. They have won the competition nine times since 1991.

Champions in both 2019 and 2023, their most recent showing included shutting out the opposition all throughout the knockout stages in an absolutely dominant run. Across six matches, they conceded just one goal en route to lifting the trophy.

Led by star striker duo Santiago Gimenez and Raul Jimenez, Mexico will look to light up the Gold Cup with their explosive attack this summer.

Jesse Marsch's men will be searching for their first Gold Cup title since 2000 - their lone win in 16 appearances at the tournament.

Les Rouges have taken massive steps forward in recent years as a program, and are now viewed as a contender to lift the trophy as a result. Third-place finishers in the Nations League in March, they defeated the U.S. and are looking to build off that momentum this summer.

Star defender Alphonso Davies will miss the competition due to a torn ACL, but they will be led by Lille star Jonathan David in the attack as they look to reassert themselves atop CONCACAF.

Invited as the guest nation for the 2025 edition of the Gold Cup, Saudi Arabia will look to build on a promising start to their 2026 AFC World Cup qualifying campaign by playing some much-needed competitive games against unfamiliar opposition.

Sitting third in Group C on 10 points in their WCQ group - they're in pole position to compete for an automatic berth with Australia, who sit second on 13 points but are also in contention for an AFC Playoff spot if they remain in third.

Led by striker Saleh Al-Shehri and forward Salem Al-Dawsari, they'll look to turn heads at this summer's tournament.

The Canal Boys have recently become a thorn in the side of CONCACAF's top teams, emerging as a fierce competitor in continental competitions. Recent runners-up in the Nations League, they also eliminated the USMNT from Copa America 2024.

Runners-up of the 2023 Gold Cup, they have made the final three times in the modern-day edition of the competition, but have never lifted it. Led by Pumas star, and former Houston Dynamo midfielder Adalberto "Coco" Carrasquilla, Panama will look to climb their way to their second straight CONCACAF final this summer.

Costa Rica: Los Ticos will look to make a statement performance in the Gold Cup this summer, led by NYCFC star forward Alonso Martinez and Spartak Moscow striker Manfred Ugalde in the tournament. They currently sit first in Group B of CONCACAF FIFA World Cup Qualifying, and look set to book their spot in the 2026 tournament - with this Gold Cup serving as a great test for their squad ahead of the competition.

Guadeloupe: They clinched their third-straight Gold Cup appearance after defeating Nicaragua in a two-legged playoff, and will now look to shoot for a nation-best performance at the 2025 edition of the competition. In 2021, they finished 14th and in 2023, they ended ninth. Their best performance came in 2007, where they went on a Cinderella run to the semifinals in a 12-team bracket - four teams less than in 2025. Led by fullback Jerome Roussillon, who plays for Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga, they'll look to make another heroic run in 2025.

Guatemala: Their best Gold Cup finish came in 1996 when they finished fourth, but after a strong performance at the 2023 competition, they will look to return with similar output in 2025. In the Group Stage of the 2023 tournament, they went unbeaten - including an impressive scoreless draw vs. Canada - to make it to the knockouts, only to fall to Jamaica 1-0. Led by former U.S. international Rubio Rubin - who filed a one-time FIFA switch in 2022 - La Azul y Blanco will look to make a statement this summer.

Honduras: The Central American nation have qualified for every modern day Gold Cup since its founding in 1991, except for the 2002 edition. Expected to compete for a knockout round spot, Los Catrachos will be led by Olympiacos attacker Luis Palma, and will look to make a splash in this year's competition.

Jamaica: The Reggae Boyz will enter the 2025 competition with expectations to compete for a semifinal spot, and perhaps even more. With Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey and Al-Ettifaq forward Demarai Gray on their books, their loaded attack will look to surprise the field this summer. In both 2019 and 2023, they qualified for the semifinals of the competition - so expectations will be high.

Suriname: De Natio enter the 2025 field after missing out on qualifying for 2023 after qualifying for the first time in their history in 2021. This summer will be their second appearance in the Gold Cup, and they'll look to better their 10th place finish from their first showing. Led by Real Sociedad forward Sheraldo Becker, the Caribbean country will look to surprise the field.

Trinidad and Tobago:The island nation qualified for their fourth-straight tournament in 2025, and will look to earn a berth in the knockout stages for the first time since 2015. Captained by former MLS star Kevin Molino, the Soca Warriors will look to pull off another astonishing upset in CONCACAF play - like their 2017 performance against the USMNT that denied them qualification in the 2018 World Cup.

Curacao: After qualifying for the 2021 Gold Cup, they had to withdraw due to positive COVID-19 tests within the squad, and they were replaced by Guatemala. They then missed out on qualifying for the 2023 edition for the tournament. This year marks their first opportunity to compete since 2019 when they finished in eighth place, making it to the quarterfinals.

Dominican Republic: They qualified for their first Gold Cup in 2025 after winning their group in the CONCACAF Nations League B - with six straight victories. Led by Leeds United defender/midfielder Junior Firpo, they're looking to make a bold statement in their first showing at the tournament. A potential storyline to watch is the emergence of former Real Madrid striker Mariano Diaz. Despite not having a club at the moment, the 31-year-old could represent them this summer after scoring a goal in an international friendly against Puerto Rico in March.

El Salvador: Qualified for their 10th-straight Gold Cup, El Salvador will be an interesting foe for the enter field. The Central American nation has never made it past the quarterfinals in the modern era of the competition, but with a 16-team field this summer, they could emerge as a strong second-place team.

Haiti: After their heroic 2019 performance at the Gold Cup, where they made the semifinals, they crashed out in the Group Stage in both 2021 and 2023. Come this summer, the island nation will look to return to the knockout stages of the tournament for just the fifth time in their history. Led by Inter Miami winger and MLS veteran Fafa Picault, they could once again make a splash as an unexpected competitor this summer.
