Trinidad and Tobago is set to face Guatemala, Cuba and Mexico in Group C of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage this coming summer at NFL stadiums throughout the U.S. in cities; Chicago, Arizona and Charlotte respectively.


The 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be played across 12 United States sites and Toronto from July 7-26.

The tournament draw, conducted in Philadelphia today, sees the Soca Warriors facing six-time Gold Cup champions Mexico, Central America's 2014 Copa Centroamericana runners-up Guatemala and fourth place 2014 Caribbean Cup finisher Cuba.

T&T, who will be making it's 9th Gold Cup appearance will open against Guatemala at Soldier Field on July 9th from 7:00pm. They will then come up against Cuba 3 days later at University of Phoenix Stadium from 6:30pm before closing off the round against giants Mexico on July 15 at the Bank of America Stadium from 8:30pm.

The quarterfinals are set for Baltimore and East Rutherford, N.J., the semifinals are in Atlanta and the final in Philadelphia.

Taking place every two years, the Gold Cup has established itself as the region's most popular national team tournament. Featuring the Confederation's best players from 12 top nations, the competition routinely draws capacity crowds and millions of television viewers across the region and around the world.

Unlike its counterparts in Europe and South America, the CONCACAF Gold Cup is a fairly new event, but after 24 years and 12 editions, the tournament has already created many lasting memories for fans of national teams across North and Central America and the Caribbean.

Though CONCACAF had organized international tournaments in the past, which from 1973-1989 also doubled as World Cup qualifying, the Gold Cup itself was created in 1990 and first played in the United States in 1991, giving the regional championship a fresh new look and a trophy.

Returning for the 2015 edition of the Gold Cup are long-time CONCACAF broadcast partners FOX and Univision, which hold the U.S. television rights in English and Spanish, respectively, along with radio broadcast partner Futbol de Primera.
