FRESH from their historic qualification to the preliminary round of the first Concacaf women’s Gold Cup, Guyana’s Lady Jags will square off with the Dominican Republic at Dignity Health Sports Track and Field Stadium, Carson, California on February 17, 2024.

The other two matches, set for the same venue will see Haiti battling with Puerto Rico and El Salvador clashing with Guatemala.
After single-match elimination play, the winning team in each match will advance to the Group Stage.

A 12-national team Group Stage will follow the Prelims and will be played between February 20-28, at Dignity Health Sports Park (Group A), Snapdragon Stadium (Group B), and Shell Energy Stadium (Group C). After round-robin play, the group winners, runners-up, and the two best third-place finishers will advance to the tournament’s Quarterfinals.

The Knockout Stage will commence with the Quarterfinals at BMO Stadium on March 2 and 3, followed by the Semifinals and Final at Snapdragon Stadium on March 6 and 10, respectively.
On Monday, Concacaf will conduct the official Draw for the Gold Cup. The event will start at 7:00 pm ET and will be widely available for fans across the region to follow and enjoy through the Confederation’s TV partner networks, including CBS | Paramount+ (USA-English) and ESPN (Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, and South America).

Based on the Concacaf Women’s Rankings as of December 2023 and the results of the 2022 CONMEBOL Women’s Copa America, the 12 teams participating in the Group Stage will be distributed in four Pots as follows (three teams per pot):

Pot 1: United States (highest-ranked Concacaf team), Brazil (2022 CONMEBOL Women’s Copa America winner), and Canada (second highest-ranked Concacaf team)

Pot 2: Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama (three next-best-ranked Concacaf teams)

Pot 3: Colombia, Argentina, and Paraguay (second, third, and fourth place finishers of the 2022 CONMEBOL Women’s Copa America).

Pot 4: Three teams that will qualify for the Group Stage from the 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup Prelims
Furthermore, following the regulations governing the draw, the three teams in Pot 1 will each be pre-seeded into a group as follows:

Group A, position A1: United States
Group B, position B1: Brazil
Group C, position C1: Canada

The draw will begin by placing the three pre-seeded teams in pre-assigned group positions. Once confirmed, the draw will continue by drawing the spheres from Pot 2 and placing each team in sequential order in Groups A, B, and C, with no more than one team from each pot in each group. This procedure will be replicated for Pots 3 and 4.

The draw will conclude once all national teams have been assigned a group.

The 2024 Concacaf W Gold Cup is sponsored by Modelo, Qatar Airways, Toyota, and Valvoline.
