The Big D is known for big events, and it doesn’t get much bigger than international soccer showdowns. According to an announcement from Concacaf, Arlington's AT&T Stadium is gearing up to host the crème de la crème of the 2023/24 Concacaf Nations League Finals next spring—talk about a grand stage for the grand game. This very stadium, a crown jewel in the land of cowboys and culture, has snagged the hosting rights for the esteemed tournament's semifinals, third-place match, and coveted final, set to unfold in the FIFA Match Window of March 2024 as stated by the City of Arlington,Texas.
In a stroke of luck for Frisco, not left out in the international sports frenzy, Toyota Stadium has scored the Play-In matches on home turf. These matches will be thrown down on March 23, where the high-stakes footie will decide which of the last two Concacaf guest national teams gets a golden ticket to the CONMEBOL Copa America 2024. Not just a run-of-the-mill stadium, Toyota Stadium already has a rep as a soccer hub, and now it's taking things up a notch, hosting the likes of Mexico, Honduras, the United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, Jamaica, Costa Rica, and Panama in what's shaping up to be a no-holds-barred faceoff, as the aforementioned teams are all vying for a spot in the semifinals to take place at Arlington's AT&T Stadium come next March.
It's not every day that Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner, president, and general manager, dons the hat of a soccer enthusiast. But when he does, you bet he's talking about bringing "another world-class experience" to his home turf. "We are honored to host decisive matches at AT&T Stadium for the Concacaf Nations League, including the Final," stated Jones per the City of Arlington, Texas.
