The 2025 Gold Cup Final is set. Mexico will face the United States at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX.

The United States secured its spot early Wednesday with a win over Guatemala in St. Louis. The USMNT took an early 2-0 lead in Wednesday’s semifinal. Despite Guatemala's efforts, the USMNT ultimately won, 2-1.

For Mexico, their qualification was confirmed late Wednesday at Levi’s Stadium, where a Raul Jiménez second-half goal was the deciding factor in Mexico’s 1-0 victory over Honduras from the 49ers stadium.

Mexico will aim to win its tenth Gold Cup and continue its quest to become back-to-back champions. To achieve that, they’ll need to beat the United States in Houston. The U.S. will head into the match with star talent, Diego Luna, who has risen from the under-23 Olympic roster to the full USMNT's starting lineup.
