Two-time defending champion United States will meet Jamaica and Mexico will face Panama in next March’s CONCACAF Nations League semi-finals, the North American regional football governing body announced Wednesday.
A day after the quarter-finals were concluded, CONCACAF revealed the pairings for the March 21 semi-final matches at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
Winners will advance to the March 24 final with losers meeting the same day in a third-place match.
By reaching the final four, those teams also qualified for next year’s Copa America, a 16-team event to be played in the United States that features South America’s 10 national teams.
Two final spots in the Copa America lineup will be decided on March 23 in Frisco, Texas, in matches between the four quarter-final losers.
Canada will play Trinidad and Tobago and Costa Rica will meet Honduras to decide CONCACAF’s two final teams in the Copa America lineup next June and July.
