2023 CONCACAF Nations League final
The 2023 CONCACAF Nations League final was a soccer match between Canada and the United States to determine the winner of the 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League's top division, League A. The match was the second final match of the CONCACAF Nations League, an international tournament contested by the men's national teams of CONCACAF, covering North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. It was played on June 18, 2023, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, United States, in the Las Vegas area, which had hosted the finals tournament.
The United States won the final 2–0 to secure a second consecutive CONCACAF Nations League title, with goals from Chris Richards and Folarin Balogun in the first half. U.S. midfielder Giovanni Reyna was named man of the match for his two assists. Canada finished as runners-up in their first Nations League final, which was also their first CONCACAF tournament final since the 2000 Gold Cup.
The 2023 final was played at Allegiant Stadium, an indoor stadium in the Las Vegas-area community of Paradise, Nevada in the United States. The 65,000-seat stadium, primarily home to the Las Vegas Raiders of the National Football League, had a retractable grass surface and was designed to accommodate soccer. The entire Nations League Finals tournament was hosted at Allegiant Stadium with two sets of doubleheaders for both rounds. It was the second CONCACAF tournament final at the stadium, following the 2021 Gold Cup final. The entire 2023 Nations League Finals was played at Allegiant Stadium.
Note: In all results below, the score of the finalist is given first (H: home; A: away; N: neutral).
In the inaugural edition of the Nations League, Canada had been unseeded and qualified for League A after playing through a qualification tournament. They finished second in their League A group behind the United States, tying on points but losing on goal differential. Canada also qualified for the 2021 Gold Cup, where they again finished second to the United States in the group stage but advanced; in the tournament's semi-finals, they lost to Mexico in stoppage time.
For the 2022–23 Nations League, Canada remained in League A and were drawn into Group C alongside Honduras and Curaçao. The team's players were involved in a pay dispute with the Canada Soccer Association and refused to play in a pre-Nations League friendly, but confirmed they would play in the tournament to prevent sanctions. During the June window, they defeated Curaçao 4–0 at home in Vancouver with two goals from Alphonso Davies and lost 2–1 on the road to Honduras. Following their appearance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Canada returned to Nations League play in March 2023 with a 2–0 defeat of Curaçao in Willemstad; Jonathan David and Cyle Larin both scored in the first half against the home side, who had a player sent off with a second yellow card. They were tied with Honduras on points and ahead on goal difference; the two teams would play each other in the final matchday. Canada secured their first semifinal berth with a 4–1 victory in Toronto as Larin scored twice and extended his lead as the country's top international goalscorer.
Canada qualified for their first Nations League final with a 2–0 win against Panama in the semifinals. They took the lead in the 25th minute with David's shot through goalkeeper Orlando Mosquera's legs; Davies, who had been recovering from an earlier thigh injury, scored the team's second goal in the 69th minute shortly after entering the match as substitute. The Nations League final was their first CONCACAF tournament final since the 2000 Gold Cup, which they won.
The United States were the defending champions of the Nations League and Gold Cup, having won both tournaments in 2021 against long-time rivals Mexico. They were drawn into Group D of League A alongside El Salvador and Grenada, both of whom had been promoted from League B. The United States had secured a World Cup berth—their first since 2014—and 19 players from the qualifiers were called up during the June window for the Nations League and two friendlies. Several key players, including goalkeeper Matt Turner, midfielder Weston McKennie, defender Sergiño Dest, and forward Gio Reyna, were excluded from the roster while they recovered from injuries; among their replacements were Major League Soccer (MLS) players and newcomer dual-nationals from European leagues.
