CONCACAF President Victor Montagliani explains where he feels the Gold Cup will be in five years, after recently expanding to a 16 team tournament.

The United States will host Cuba on Oct. 11 and Canada on Nov. 15 in the first CONCACAF Nations League.

CONCACAF said Tuesday that the Americans, seeded in Group A, will play at Canada on Oct. 15 and at Cuba on Nov. 19.

Sites have not been determined.

Other Nations League groups are:

B — Bermuda, Mexico, Panama

C — Martinique, Honduras, Trinidad and Tobago

The top team in each League A group advances to the semifinals in March, and the last-place team is relegated to League B.

The U.S. intends to play exhibitions on the September FIFA dates for national teams.
