Background

Perspective

After being eliminated in the group stage of the 2024 Copa América, US men's coach Gregg Berhalter was relieved of his duties and replaced by Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino in September of that same year.[5] Under Pochettino's management, the United States, who were three-time defending champions in the tournament, finished fourth place in the 2024–25 CONCACAF Nations League after being eliminated 0–1 against Panama in the semi-finals and losing 2–1 in the third-place play-off against Canada.

Mexico was the defending champion, having won its record-extending ninth title in the 2023 edition, as well as the holder of the CONCACAF Nations League, with both wins coming against Panama.

This was the eighth CONCACAF Gold Cup final to feature Mexico and the United States; Mexico triumphed in 1993, 1998, 2009, 2011, and 2019, while the US prevailed in 2007 and 2021.

Venue

The final was held at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, United States. It was the first final to be played at the venue, which was built for the Houston Texans of the National Football League.[3] This was the first final played in the Houston area. On October 30, 2024, CONCACAF announced that NRG Stadium would be the host venue for the final.[3] The venue would also host matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Prior to this final, the two teams had met in friendly matches at NRG in May 2003 and in February 2008, both of which ended in 0–0 and 2–2 draws.
