The United States Men’s National Team are headed back to the Concacaf Nations League Finals after taking out Jamaica 4-2 on Monday night in St. Louis. There, Canada, Mexico, and Panama await the 3-time defending Nations League champions for the right to hold a trophy that has only been touched by the United States.
The Concacaf Nations League Finals tournament will take place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, with the semifinals taking place on March 20th and the final and third place match occurring on March 23rd. Following the conclusion of the quarterfinal matches, Concacaf confirmed the schedule for that tournament.
The four teams were ranked based on the quarterfinal results, with points and then goal differential determining the seeds. The final standings after all the quarterfinals were played:
1. Canada (6 points, +4 goal differential)
2. USA (6 points, +3 GD)
3. Panama (4 points, +1 GD)
4. Mexico (3 points, +2 GD)
With those results, the USMNT – as the 2 seed – will take on 3 seed Panama in the first semifinal of the evening on March 20th. Following that match, 1 seed Canada will play 4 seed Mexico. The winners advance to the Concacaf Nations League Final on March 23rd, while the losers will play each other in the Third Place match the same day.
There have been three editions of the Concacaf Nations League, and the USMNT have won them all. They lifted the trophy in 2021, 2023, and 2024. They hope to do it again, but will have to first face a Panama team that they saw just last month in a friendly in Austin. There, the USMNT won, but in the past 2 competitions where they’ve faced each other – 2024 Copa América and 2023 Gold Cup – Panama has won. The USMNT will hope to get back on the winning track against Los Canaleros and advance to the final with a chance to hang onto the trophy.
