Los Angeles, CA (Thursday, March 20, 2025) – Concacaf has confirmed that Panama and Mexico will face off in the 2025 Concacaf Nations League Final on March 23 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, CA. The match will kick off at 9:30 pm ET (6:30 pm PT/local).
The semifinal results set up a rematch of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup Final. Sunday’s Final will crown the tournament’s new champion after the United States won the three first editions (2021 in Denver, CO, 2023 in Las Vegas, NV, and 2024 in Arlington, TX). The losing semifinalists, United States and Canada, will play in the Third-Place Match at 6:00 pm ET (3:00 pm PT/local).
In the day’s first semifinal, Panama earned a 1-0 win against the United States, becoming the first Central American squad to advance to the Nations League Final match. Los Canaleros found the match-winner in the 90’+4. Cecilio Waterman scored with a right-footed shot that curled into the left corner of the net.
Later that night, with two goals from Raúl Jiménez, Mexico advanced to its third Nations League final and second consecutive. Jiménez struck the opening goal in the 1’ with a right-footed finish to pounce on a loose ball inside the box. The Mexican forward scored again, in the 75’ with a precise free kick just inside the right post to beat the Canadian wall and St. Clair.
