- Artists to perform at the Final at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 1st
Las Vegas, NV (Friday, July 30, 2021) - After countless exhilarating displays of talent and determination by teams throughout the tournament, the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup Final is here, and fans are ready to celebrate! Pop sensations, Cali y El Dandee and Charly Black will be performing “Juega,” the official song of the tournament, to a sold-out crowd of over 60,000 fans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday, August 1.
Like the fans, this anthem is all heart and passion! Its powerful lyrics in both English and Spanish, coupled with urban beats and sprinkled with reggae sounds transcend one country and captures the collective essence of a region.
LISTEN TO “JUEGA” HERE
“This is the first time we will incorporate a live musical performance in a Gold Cup Final; the timing feels right.” says Concacaf Chief Commercial Officer Heidi Pellerano. “Not only are we fortunate enough to be able to celebrate with our fans back in the stands, but the Final will be played in Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world.” Pellerano continued, “It's only fitting that “Juega”, which has resonated deeply with our fans, be performed at this showpiece sporting event. This is one of the many exciting experiences we have planned for Sunday.”
The Gold Cup Final became the fastest sellout in tournament history, and the first sellout for a sporting event at Allegiant Stadium. All general seating tickets sold in just 90 minutes after going on sale to the general public.
The Allegiant Stadium and Concacaf strongly advise attending fans bring their own face masks to the stadium in order to comply with the recently announced mask mandate in effect across the state of Nevada.
The Gold Cup Final will be broadcast live through the Confederation’s partner networks, including Fox Sports (USA-English), Univision (USA-Spanish), OneSoccer (Canada-English), Televisa (Mexico-Spanish), Futbol de Primera (USA-Spanish Radio) and other local partners in the Caribbean, Central America and the world.
2021 is Concacaf’s 60th anniversary year and the Gold Cup is its flagship men’s competition. The first edition was played in 1991 and the 2021 edition will be the 16th Concacaf Gold Cup. Mexico is the most successful team in Gold Cup history with eight Gold Cup titles, followed by the USA with six and Canada with one. The current Gold Cup champion is Mexico who lifted the Cup in 2019 after defeating the US Men’s National Team 1-0 in a hard-fought final at Chicago’s Soldier Field.
