The Falcons are flying high in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup! As one of the surprise guest teams in this year’s tournament, Saudi Arabia is making headlines in North America’s biggest football showdown.

Fans tuning in to watch their favorite North American national team play at the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup may notice a participant from across the globe competing in the traditionally closed continental championship.

Like what we have seen in the last two editions of the Gold Cup, a representative from Asia has been invited to play in the tournament. Previously, Qatar has been in the invitee. This time around, Saudi Arabia, the eventual hosts of the 2034 FIFA World Cup, enters the tournament.
