This is Curacao’s first run in the Gold Cup since their quarterfinal appearance in 2019. They withdrew from the 2021 tournament, but did not qualify two years ago. Like El Salvador, Curacao qualified for the Gold Cup by winning their group in Division B in the Nations League.

Honduras and El Salvador face off in an eagerly anticipated Matchday 2 of the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup group stage, a showdown that could boost their chances of securing their spot for the next phase of the competition.
