CANMNT to take on Honduras, El Salvador and Curaçao in Group B of this summer’s Concacaf Gold Cup
Canada has been drawn into Group B for the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup, where it will face Honduras, El Salvador, and Curaçao in the Group Stage of North America’s premier international tournament.
Canada’s competition will begin on 17 June as they take on Honduras at Vancouver’s BC Place at 10:30 PM ET / 7:30 PM PT. The team will then travel to Houston for the remaining two group stage matches at Shell Energy Stadium. Canada will meet Curaçao on 21 June at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, before a clash with El Salvador on 24 June at 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT. The Group B winner and runner-up will advance to the knockout stage.
The 2025 edition of the Gold Cup will bring together 16 national teams, including the top 15 from the Concacaf region who qualified through the most recent Concacaf Nations League and 2025 Gold Cup Prelims, alongside guest nation Saudi Arabia.
The Group Stage will run from June 14 to June 24, featuring round-robin play. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Knockout Stage, which begins with the Quarterfinals on June 28 and 29.
As per the tournament format, the Quarterfinal matchups are pre-determined based on group results:
Opponents
Against Honduras, Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team holds an all-time record of 9 wins, 13 losses, and 7 draws. CANMNT came out on top in their most recent encounter, earning a 4-1 victory at BMO Field in March 2023.
Canada has fared strongly against El Salvador, with a record of 10 wins, 5 losses, and 4 draws. The two most recent meetings went decisively in CANMNT’s favour, with 3-0 and 2-0 victories in September 2021 and February 2022, respectively.
Canada also maintained a perfect record against Curaçao, winning all three previous matches. Their last meeting came during Concacaf Nations League play in March 2023, where CANMNT secured a 2-0 win. Notably, that match marked Canada’s first international appearance following the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Quest for a Trophy
Canada Soccer’s Men’s National Team continues its impressive ascent on the international stage, achieving a historic milestone by reaching an all-time high of 30th in the FIFA world rankings as of April 2025. This achievement follows a third place finish in the 2025 Concacaf Nations League, where Canada secured a 2-1 victory over the United States, marking consecutive wins against the Americans for the first time since 1985.
Canada will aim to build on its recent momentum and continue asserting itself as a force in the region. Having previously won the competition in 2000, Canada’s sights will be set on a second Gold Cup victory this summer.
Additional details on Canada’s full match schedule, venues, and broadcast information will be announced in the coming weeks.
