The group stage of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup finishes this week, but we know who the U.S. men’s national team will face in the quarterfinals.

The USMNT, having emerged as Group D winners, will take on Group A runners-up Costa Rica. The other confirmed matchup is Mexico (Group A winners) against Saudi Arabia, who are the tournament’s invited team and finished as Group D runners-up. 

Several other teams in the tournament are still aiming to book places in the quarterfinals. And with this Gold Cup being the final competitive tournament for the region before next year’s 2026 World Cup, there’s plenty to watch for.

Here’s a look at where things stand at the Gold Cup, and how the rest of the teams can qualify.

Group-by-group breakdown
