Allegiant stadium in Las Vegas will host the final of the 2022/2023 Concacaf Nations League.
The second edition of the CNL Finals will be played amongst the four CNL League ‘A’ group winners.
It will consist of semifinals, on June 15, and a third place match and final on June 18.
The Final will crown the CNL’s second champion after the United States won the inaugural edition in 2021.
To determine the two semifinal match-ups, the four participating national teams will be ranked 1-4, according to their performance in the CNL Group Stage, with the highest ranked team facing the lowest ranked team.
Allegiant Stadium, home to the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders and Super Bowl 58, has hosted a number of high-profile football events in the past, including the 2021 Gold Cup Final between the United States and Mexico, which became the fastest sellout in the tournament’s history.
Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President, Victor Montagliani, said: “The City of Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium will be tremendous hosts of the 2022/23 Concacaf Nations League Finals.
The second edition of the CNL kicked off in June 2022, with Group Stage play.
At the end of June’s double FIFA Window, just two of the 12 group winners, both in League C, were decided.
The remaining Group Stage matches are scheduled to take place between March 23-28, 2023.
These 34 matches will decide the national teams that will secure a berth in this summer’s CNL Finals in Las Vegas and Gold Cup – 24 teams -, as well as the teams that will be promoted to Leagues A and B for the third edition of the competition.
El Salvador, Honduras, Jamaica, and Panama are currently leading the groups in League A, with the Confederation’s 2022 FIFA World Cup participants, Canada, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States in contention.
