The CONCACAF Nations League final between Canada and USA will take place at Allegiant Stadium on Monday at 6:00 am IST.
The United States has the opportunity to defend their CONCACAF Nations League title as they face Canada in the final at Allegiant Stadium in Nevada on Sunday. In the previous matches, Canada secured a 2-0 victory over Panama, scoring a goal in each half. Meanwhile, the United States continued their strong performance against Mexico, winning the match 3-0 and maintaining their dominance over their Central American opponents.
Canada’s national team managed to overcome initial rustiness and secure a comfortable victory despite a lack of international matches for over 2 months, advancing to the final of a major continental tournament for the first time since 2000. Their performance in the recent World Cup was disappointing, losing all three group games. However, they have been successful in the CONCACAF Nations League this season, scoring the most goals in the group phase. The majority of the squad has World Cup experience, and they have a strong record against CONCACAF opponents. With a talented and experienced team, including players who have competed in European club competitions, Canada recently added former England women’s manager Phil Neville to their coaching staff.
As we approach mid-2023, American players eagerly await news of their next permanent coach. Gregg Berhalter’s surprising return is rumored amidst speculation surrounding Jesse Marsch and Patrick Vieira. BJ Callaghan, the interim coach, secured a victory in his first match. Ranked 13th by FIFA, the United States is the highest-ranked CONCACAF team, recently winning the Nations League and Gold Cup. Despite one defeat in the Nations League against Canada four years ago, the Americans have a strong track record, losing only one home fixture since October 2019. With talented European-based players, the team prepares for the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Canada probable starting lineup: Borjan, Johnston, Miller, Vitoria, Adekugbe, Laryea, Eustaquio, Davies, David, Larin, Buchanan
USA probable starting lineup: Turner, Scally, M. Robinson, Zimmerman, A. Robinson, Musah, Weah, De la Torre, Pulisic, Balogun, Pepi
