AT&T Stadium to Host Concacaf Nations League Semifinals, Third Place Match and Final in March 2024
Concacaf has announced that the Dallas Metropolitan Area will host a decisive week of 2023/24 Concacaf Nations League (CNL) matches during the FIFA Match Window of March 2024. World-renowned AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, home to the NFL's Dallas Cowboys and host stadium for the FIFA World Cup 2026, has been awarded the tournament's Finals (inclusive of Semifinals, Third Place Match, and Final), while the Play-In matches will take place at Toyota Stadium, home to FC Dallas, in Frisco, TX.
The third edition of Concacaf Nations League Finals presented by Qatar Airways (CNLF) will be played at AT&T Stadium between the tournament's four Quarterfinal winners. The CNLF consists of Semifinals on Thursday, March 21, and a Third-Place match and Final on Sunday, March 24. The Final will crown the tournament's third champion after the United States won the first two editions (2021 in Denver, CO, and 2023 in Las Vegas, NV).
The CNL Play-in matches will take place on Saturday, March 23, at Toyota Stadium. The two single-match direct elimination pairings, to be played amongst the tournament's Quarterfinal losers, will determine the last two Concacaf guest national teams qualifying for the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024.
"The Concacaf Nations League is an integral part of the Concacaf men's national team calendar and continues to have a hugely positive impact on the development of the game in our region. The competition provides a consistent set of matches across the FIFA windows and, as we head towards the latter stages of the third edition, I must praise our 41 federations and their teams for their hard work and commitment to this competition," said Concacaf President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani.
"AT&T Stadium and Toyota Stadium will be great hosts for what promises to be a tremendous week of Concacaf Nations League football in the Dallas Metropolitan Area. I want to thank the cities of Arlington and Frisco, their stadiums, and the Dallas Sports Commission for working with Concacaf to ensure these matches are a celebration of the best men's national team football in the region," added Montagliani.
"We are honored to host decisive matches at AT&T Stadium for the Concacaf Nations League, including the Final," said Dallas Cowboys Owner, President and General Manager Jerry Jones. "North Texas has proven to be an incredible region for international soccer, and we look forward to providing another world class experience for each one of the matches played at AT&T Stadium.”
"As a proud member of Concacaf, we are pleased to host the Play-In matches next March," said FC Dallas President Dan Hunt. "We’ve had success with Gold Cup and other Concacaf properties over the years and this will be another great addition to our event lineup at Toyota Stadium as we all prepare for FIFA World Cup matches in North Texas in 2026.”
"The opportunity to host these premier Concacaf Nations League matches elevates Dallas and the entire North Texas region as the ultimate destination for international soccer competition," said Monica Paul, Executive Director of the Dallas Sports Commission. "Welcoming top teams in Concacaf for a week's worth of thrilling and pivotal play at AT&T Stadium and Toyota Stadium allows DFW to shine as the epicenter of soccer in North America."
The home-and-away 2023/24 CNL Quarterfinals are scheduled for November 16 and 17 (first legs) and November 20 and 21 (second legs). The aggregate score winner in each Quarterfinal pairing will advance to the CNLF and qualify for the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024, while the losers will progress to the CNL Play-In. The CNL Quarterfinal pairings are: Mexico vs. Honduras, United States vs. Trinidad and Tobago, Canada vs. Jamaica, and Costa Rica vs Panama. Click here for more information.
To determine the CNLF Semifinal pairings, the participating national teams will be ranked 1-4 based on the Quarterfinal results, with the national team that accumulates the most points facing the national team that accumulates the least points (1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3).
