CONCACAF is weighing the possibility of holding Mexico’s Gold Cup opener against the Dominican Republic without fans at SoFi Stadium due to a national security alert.
As reported by TUDN, the June 14 match coincides with Donald Trump’s birthday, prompting planned demonstrations across the U.S. SoFi’s location in a high-traffic area of Los Angeles has raised concerns among law enforcement.
No final decision has been made, but CONCACAF is in talks with California security officials.
Playing without fans would be a major emotional setback for Mexico, whose supporters typically fill stadiums throughout the U.S.
On paper, Mexico are clear favorites against a debutant Dominican side, but political tensions now dominate the headlines.
A decision is expected in the coming hours, with safety set to take priority over spectacle.
