The Concacaf Nations League Final Four now has a venue after being postponed originally in 2020.
Concacaf announced on Thursday that the semifinals and finals of the Nations League will take place at Denver’s Mile High Stadium from June 3-6. Home of the Denver Broncos, Mile High Stadium will see semifinal ties between the U.S. Men’s National Team vs. Honduras and Mexico vs. Costa Rica.
“The Concacaf Nations League includes all 41 of our Member Associations, making it a true celebration of our football, our region, and our unity as One Concacaf,” Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani said. “The 2019 group stage was a huge success in delivering more competitive football for all men’s national teams across Concacaf. Now we can look forward to a great final four in the outstanding facility that is Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High, and to crowning a first ever Concacaf Nations League champion.”
Honduras vs. United States
June 6 – Third Place Match and Final
Final: Winner SF1 vs. Winner SF2.
It will be interesting to see whether Pulisic participates if Chelsea make the CL final (May 29 in Istanbul) . Unfortunately I suspect not.
Since the team is scheduled to play the 30th in a tuneup I’d guess yes. Maybe not start the semi but I think he’ll definitely be on the field for the Consolation/Final. Gregg is using these matches to simulate what it will be like to play club on the weekend and then fly to NA and play midweek.
What do we think the fan situation might be?
Currently at 42% but they will reassess in a few weeks according to Denver Post. That’s 30,000.
Gomer Pyle will be there. And even if it’s just me, I promise it will feel like a full house!
I hope they (the US team) has time to get acclimated to the mile high-ness of Denver…
They play in Switzerland on May 30 but only at about 2,000 feet.
As a Denver resident, this is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year.
I hope you make it to the matches!
