The field is set for the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup, and now we know how the groups will look for the tournament.
The US men's national team, the seeded team in Group D, will face a couple countries who have given them fits in recent years, taking on Panama, Trinidad & Tobago and newcomers Guyana.
The Canadian national team will play in Group A, where they will take on seeded country and perennial Gold Cup contender Mexico and Caribbean nations Cuba and Martinique.
In other action, Group B features seeded side Costa Rica taking on up-and-comers Haiti, as well as Nicaragua and Bermuda, while Group C looks to be wide open, with Honduras and Jamaica facing El Salvador and Curacao.
Concacaf conducted the announcement of the tournament alignment on Wednesday at Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles.
The 2019 Gold Cup features an expanded field, with 16 teams for the first time, including first-time entrants Bermuda and Guyana. The United States will host the majority of the matches, but this year's tournament will feature group-stage games in Costa Rica and Jamaica, the first time Gold Cup games have been hosted outside of the US, Canada or Mexico.
The USMNT are the defending champions. The proceedings kick off on June 15 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., and the final is set for July 7 at Soldier Field in Chicago.
