Interim coach B.J. Callaghan will lead an MLS-heavy squad through the Concacaf Gold Cup, the region's biennial championship tournament.
“The messaging is very clear,” said goalkeeper Matt Turner, one of five Nations League holdovers on the 23-man Gold Cup team. “When there’s a trophy on the line, we expect to compete for it. And we know our fans expect us to compete for it and put our best foot forward. Last weekend, we took care of business and we got a trophy. Now it’s time to completely shift gears and win another one.”
Although the Nations League and Gold Cup both crown a king of Concacaf, the competitions are radically different. The Nations League, which launched in 2019 and involves all 41 of Concacaf’s member associations, includes home and away matches contested across the region over many months. The Gold Cup, which has been staged since 1991 and features 16 teams, is Concacaf’s crucible — a World Cup-style tournament that requires the winner to play six matches over three weeks on U.S.
“It has a very similar feel to what a World Cup would look like,” Callaghan said. “For us, it continues to battle test and prepare a deep player pool.”
