The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) announced that top-ranked Mexico is the seeded team in Group A that will play as part of a doubleheader at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday, June 23, 2019, as part of the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup—the 15th edition of the confederation’s continental championship.

“We’re happy to welcome Mexico back to Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte for the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup,” says CRVA CEO Tom Murray. “We anticipate the fan-favorite team will draw visitors from near and far, resulting in additional visitor spending that is important to our overall $7 billion visitor economy.”

This summer’s tournament will be the first to feature an expanded version, with 16 countries vying for continental glory in what is set to be the largest Gold Cup in history.
