The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) announced that tickets to the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup doubleheader match at Minnesota’s state-of-the-art Allianz Field have officially sold out.
This is the earliest a Gold Cup match has sold out in the history of the tournament, highlighting the appetite for football in the Minnesota metropolitan area and region overall. The first international sporting event in the new venue, which is scheduled to open in March 2019, will feature the debut of the United States and its Group D opponents in the upcoming edition of the Gold Cup, on Tuesday, June 18.
“Our Concacaf Gold Cup is one of the most anticipated football tournaments in our region and this fantastic response from fans in Minnesota for bringing our competition closer to them for the first time demonstrates the passion and growing interest in the game,” said Concacaf General Secretary Philippe Moggio. “We are looking forward to our Gold Cup matches in Minnesota and making them part of a truly historic international sporting event.”
