United States

[edit]

The United States qualified for the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup by winning the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship and hosted the tournament.[3] They were placed in Group A along with Argentina and Mexico,[4] as well as the winner from the qualification playoff between Dominican Republic and Guyana, which was later confirmed as Dominican Republic.[5] The team is managed by Twila Kilgore, who is acting as an interim coach, following Vlatko Andonovski's resignment.[6]

The United States opened the group stage by easily beating Dominican Republic 5–0, with Olivia Moultrie scoring a brace in her first international start.[7] In their second match, they beat Argentina 4–0, securing their place in the knockout stage.[8] In the last group match, the Americans suffered a shock 2–0 loss to Mexico who pipped them to the top spot.[9]

United States responded to the loss by dominating Colombia in the quarterfinal, beating them 3–0, with goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher recording a clean sheet in her 100th senior international appearance.[10] In the semifinal, the Americans faced their neighbor from the north, Canada. The game ended 1–1 at the end of regular time and each team scored another goal in extra time to reach a 2–2 result. In the penalty shoot-out the United States won 3–1, with Naeher making three saves and converting a goal, advancing to the final.[11]

Brazil

[edit]

Brazil were invited to the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup as one of the top four teams placing in the 2022 Copa América Femenina.[12] They were placed in Group B along with Colombia and Panama,[4] as well as the winner from the qualification playoff between Puerto Rico and Haiti, which was later confirmed as Puerto Rico.[13] The team is managed by Arthur Elias.[14]

Brazil opened the group stage by scraping past Puerto Rico 1–0 with their goal scored in the 81st minute.[15] In their second match, they narrowly beat Colombia with an early goal setting a 1–0 scoreline.[16] The Brazilians finished the group by recording a third win, this time easily beating Panama 5–0 and advancing to the knockout stage as group winners.[17]

In the knockout stage, Brazil continued their high scoring, thrashing Argentina 5–1 in the quarterfinal.[18] In the semifinal, they had another easy win, beating Mexico 3–0 and advancing to the final.[19]
