• USMNT head coach BJ Callaghan makes three changes to the starting XI against Canada on Wednesday, adding defender Aaron Long and forwards Cade Cowell and Brandon Vazquez.

• After becoming the first USMNT player to score three goals as a substitute in the Gold Cup, Brandon Vazquez makes his debut in the tournament’s starting XI tonight in his hometown of San Diego.

• Cade Cowell (June 28 v St Kitts and Nevis) joins Aaron Long (June 24 v Trinidad and Tobago) for his second start in the competition, becoming the fourth youngest player to win a Gold Cup Knockout Round game for the USMNT starts .

• Jesús Ferreira and James Sands are the only two players to have started all five games of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup.

• Sands becomes the sixth player to appear in 11 consecutive Gold Cup games for the USMNT. The midfielder was a substitute in his Gold Cup debut against Haiti on 11 July 2021 and has started in each of his last 10 Gold Cup appearances.

• Goaltender Matt Turner, who captains the team for the fourth time tonight, is making his tenth Gold Cup appearance to become the third USMNT goaltender of all time in the confederations championship, tied with Tony Meola.

Gianluca Busio and James Sands also appeared in the 2021 semifinals against Qatar while Aaron Long appeared in the 2019 Gold Cup semifinals against Jamaica.

• Should he come off the bench tonight, 19-year-old Jalen Neal (6 caps) with Mike Windischmann would make the most USMNT appearances by a seven-year-old youth centre-back.

Should there be a tie at the end of the 90 minutes, two 15-minute overtimes will be played and both teams may be substituted again.
