Sporting Park will hold an international doubleheader featuring the United States Men’s National Team on July 13 during the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage, CONCACAF announced on Tuesday.
The biennial tournament is the premier competition for the United States Men’s National Team in 2015 and the region’s marquee event, which will help determine CONCACAF’s representatives at the Centennial Cup America in 2016 and the FIFA Confederations Cup in 2017.
2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup – Group A (U.S. MNT) Schedule
Tuesday, July 7, at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas
Friday, July 10, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
Monday, July 13, at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan.
CONCACAF’s top-ranked teams – Costa Rica (No. 16), Mexico (No. 20) and the United States (No. 28) – will headline the 12-nation tournament from July 7-26, along with Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Canada, Guatemala, Panama, El Salvador, Haiti and Cuba. Honduras and French Guyana will meet in March with the playoff winner securing the final berth in the 2015 Gold Cup.
The U.S. Men’s National Team, which features Sporting KC Designated Players Matt Besler and Graham Zusi, returns to Sporting Park for the fourth time. The state-of-the-art stadium first hosted the U.S. MNT during the 2011 Gold Cup and next summer’s match will mark the sixth time a U.S. Men’s or Women’s National Team has played in Kansas City, Kan., since the award-winning venue opened in June 2011 – more than any other city in the country over that time period.
