They will feature in the tournament’s opening match with Canada at the 25,000 capacity Red Bull Arena.

The final will be held at the 68,500 capacity Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara on July 26.

The winner of the 2017 tournament will be assured a spot in the next edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in 2019.
