The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup Draw took place Thursday night at Concacaf headquarters in Miami, and 16 teams, including the United States Men’s National Team, learned who they will play in the tournament’s group stage.

The USMNT, in Group D, will face Haiti, Trinidad & Tobago, and Saudi Arabia. Dates and venues are still to be announced.

The USMNT were seeded alongside Mexico, Canada, and Panama, and each of their groups were pre-determined. Mexico was placed in Group A, Canada in Group B, Panama in Group C, and the United States were in Group D as a result of being fourth in the latest Concacaf rankings.

The 16 teams were placed into four pots and drawn into the four groups in a live event. Marcelo Balboa represented the United States on stage during the draw, alongside Jorge Campos, Dwayne DeRosario, and Blas Perez.
