MIAMI – The first 2026 Concacaf U-20 Men’s Championship Semifinals will see Costa Rica face the United States – the 2024 U-20 Championship runners-up – on Friday at Estadio Banorte, Mexico City, Mexico.
By reaching the Semifinals, both teams have already qualified to the 2027 FIFA Men’s U-20 World Cup.
After winning a penalty shootout against Haiti, Costa Rica became the first semifinalist of the tournament, and the only Central American team to reach the Semifinals in this year’s edition of the tournament.
Yerlan Sosa has been a standout performer for Los Ticos, scoring the equalizing goal that sent the quarterfinal against Haiti to penalties; he has registered two goals so far in the competition.
