Miami, FL (Monday, November 13, 2023) – Concacaf announced today that two Concacaf Nations League (CNL) play-in matches will take place on Saturday, March 23, 2024 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas. The two single-match elimination pairings will be played among the tournament’s Quarterfinal losers and will determine the last two guest Concacaf national teams that will qualify for the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024.
The doubleheader at Toyota Stadium, which is the home of Major League Soccer’s FC Dallas, is part of a series of 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League matches in North Texas during the FIFA international break in March 2024. AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys and a host stadium for FIFA World Cup 2026™ matches, has been awarded the tournament’s Finals which also includes the Semifinals, third-place match and Final.
The third edition of the Concacaf Nations League Finals will be played at AT&T Stadium among the tournament’s four Quarterfinal winners. The Concacaf Nations League Finals consists of Semifinals on Thursday, March 21 and a third-place match and Final on Sunday, March 24. The Final will crown the tournament’s third champion after the United States won the first two editions (2021 in Denver, CO, and 2023 in Las Vegas, NV).
“As a proud member of the Concacaf Federation, Toyota Stadium is pleased to host the play-in matches next March,” said FC Dallas President Dan Hunt. “We’ve had success with Gold Cup and other Concacaf properties over the years and this will be another great addition to our event lineup at Toyota Stadium as we all prepare for FIFA World Cup matches in North Texas in 2026.”
The home-and-away 2023-24 Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinals are scheduled for November 16 and 17 (first legs) and November 20 and 21 (second legs). The aggregate score winner in each Quarterfinal pairing will advance to the Concacaf Nations League Finals and qualify for the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, while the losers will progress to the Concacaf Nations League play-in matches at Toyota Stadium. The Concacaf Nations League Quarterfinal pairings are: Mexico vs. Honduras, United States vs. Trinidad and Tobago, Canada vs. Jamaica and Costa Rica vs Panama. For more information, click here.
To determine the Concacaf Nations League Semifinal pairings, the participating national teams will be ranked 1-4 based on the Quarterfinal results, with the national team that accumulates the most points facing the national team that accumulates the least points (1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3).
