CONCACAF has named Toronto's BMO Field as a host for the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup, along with 14 other stadiums – all in the United States. It's the 2nd time the tournament returns to Canada, with the first time being in 2015, also at BMO Field.
It hasn't been revealed how many matches the stadium will host, and which matches it will host. Following the official draw on April 14, CONCACAF will release a comprehensive schedule of matches that includes the allocation of specific venues for each game, details on ticket sales, and other pertinent information.
