 CONCACAF has conducted the official draw for the 2024/25 CONCACAF Nations League Group Stage. Sports anchors Adriana Monsalve and Debbie Bissoon hosted the live TV event in Miami, FL, which also included CONCACAF General Secretary Philippe Moggio and former players Carlos Pavon (Honduras) and Jan-Michael Williams (Trinidad and Tobago).
The fourth edition of the CONCACAF Nations League will feature the Confederation’s 41 Men's Senior National Teams including Bermuda and will be played during the FIFA Match Windows of September, October, and November 2024. The Finals, where a new champion will be crowned, are scheduled for March 2025.
The competition will continue to be played in a three-league format (A, B, and C), with the teams distributed into the Leagues according to the results of the preceding edition (2023/24).
League B features 16 teams divided into four groups of four teams. During the FIFA Match Windows of September, October, and November, each team will play every team in its group twice, for a total of six matches per team.
The groups were drawn and are as follows:
Group A: El Salvador, Montserrat, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Bonaire
Group B: Curacao, Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Saint Martin
Group C: Haiti, Puerto Rico, Aruba, and Sint Maarten
Group D: Dominican Republic, Bermuda, Antigua and Barbuda, and Dominica
For each FIFA Match Window, matches in each group will be played at a centralized venue instead of the previous home-and-away format. This format change will alleviate some of the travel challenges that Member Associations face due to the region's unique geography and allow them to focus on delivering the best possible football.
The third-best-ranked teams in each group will host the September matches, the second-best-ranked teams will host the October matches, and the best-ranked teams will host the decisive November matches. If a team is unable to host matches, CONCACAF will reserve the right to select a venue.
