Toronto was named one of 13 North American cities that will welcome the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup in July.

Toronto's BMO Field is one of two 2014 venues that will host Gold Cup games for the first time. The matches in Canada will mark the first time the Confederation's flagship national team event has visited Canadian soil.

Toronto joins Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia and Phoenix.

"We would like to thank all cities and venues across the United States - and in fact North America as a whole - for their continued interest in our Confederation's marquee event, the Gold Cup. We congratulate those which have been selected to host the 2015 edition," said CONCACAF President Jeffrey Webb. "The explosive growth of the game across CONCACAF has been on display recently on the world's stage, and we now look forward to bringing this success home to our regional fans during our premier tournament."

Since 2007, BMO Field has welcomed over three million fans and has hosted a multitude of events, including the 2010 MLS Cup. This past summer, BMO Field hosted a number of matches as part of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Canada 2014.

"Today marks another great step in Canada's development to become a leading soccer nation and we would like to thank CONCACAF for the opportunity to have such a marquee event played on Canadian soil," said Victor Montagliani, Canada Soccer President and CONCACAF ExCo Member. "Canadian soccer fans have always taken great pride in showing their support for Canada during this key tournament, traveling across the region to represent our country, and it is with great honour that we worked with CONCACAF to bring the beautiful game closer to them for the 2015 edition. We now hope that they will be rewarded with seeing Canada play its final group match in Toronto this summer!"
