Canada to face the U.S. and Cuba in Concacaf Nations League A

Canada will face the United States and Cuba in the inaugural edition of Concacaf Nations League A, beginning in September 2019.

After recording a perfect 4W-0L-0D record in qualifying, most recently defeating French Guiana 4-1 on Sunday afternoon at BC Place, Canada was drawn into Group A for the 2019-20 Concacaf Nations League A on Wednesday night in Las Vegas.

The group stage matches, which will see Canada face the U.S. and Cuba both home and away, will take place during the FIFA international windows in September, October, and/or November 2019.

“It’s an important time for Canada to get two matches against USA, which on top of being derby matches they provide us with the chance to test ourselves, to learn, and to develop against the reigning Concacaf champions,” said Canadian national team head coach John Herdman.
