The 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup will be unlike any previous tournament. According to a report, the powers that be at Concacaf want to raise things up a level or two by inviting more than just two teams from across the world.

According to Diario Olé in Argentina, the heads of Concacaf aim to increase the number of teams from 16 to 24 for the 2025 edition and treat the tournament like a mini-World Cup.

Mexico, the United States, and Canada are the hosts of the 2026 World Cup, and the idea is to give those teams the best competition possible prior to the big stage. Here are the rumored teams.
