IN NEWS,PRESS RELEASE
The Confederation of North, Central America and the Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) has selected Atlanta to host the semifinal round of the 2015 Gold Cup Tournament. The Semifinal double-header will be held in the Georgia Dome on July 22, with kickoff times set for 6:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. EST.
Taking place every two years, the Gold Cup has established itself as the region’s most popular national team tournament. Featuring the Confederation’s best players from 12 top nations, the competition routinely draws capacity crowds and millions of television viewers across the region and around the world.
“The prestige of being selected as the host of the 2015 Gold Cup semifinals further demonstrates Atlanta’s ability to deliver on all facets of hosting an event,” said Dan Corso Executive Director of the Atlanta Sports Council. “Hosting the semifinal doubleheader guarantees Atlanta’s passionate soccer community the opportunity to see the top four teams of the tournament, including the possibility of the US National Team, who has not played in Atlanta since the 70’s. The 2015 Gold Cup is just another example of the way the city and region are capable of hosting the biggest soccer tournaments in the world.”
