Just 12 months out from the FIFA World Cup, Concacaf, football’s governing body in North America, Central America and the Caribbean, is tapping into increasing commercial interest in the sport

The U.S. men's national team, under pressure after poor recent play, had a statement win against Trinidad and Tobago in its Concacaf Gold Cup opener.

Gold Cup kicks off on Saturday, with one of the first matchups of the tournament being between two CONCACAF giants, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

Mexico are coming off a 4-2 loss to Switzerland, while Turkiye are a few days removed from a 2-1 win over the U.S. men' national team
