The 2022/23 CNL Group Stage will serve as the qualifier for the 2023 Gold Cup. Following round robin play, the League A group winners and runners up (eight teams) and the League B group winners (four teams) will guarantee their participation in the 17th edition of the Gold Cup.

The 2022/23 CNL Group Stage will continue to be played in a three League format, with home and away round robin play on the FIFA Match Windows of June 2022 (double window) and March 2023. The Group Stage will be followed by the Concacaf Nations League Finals presented by Qatar Airways (CNLF) in June 2023 and will consist of semifinals, third place match, and final.

Canada's forays against Honduras are fresh in the memory, as Les Rouges defeated Los Catrachos 2-0 on January 27, 2022 in Concacaf World Cup Qualifying, while also picking up a 1-1 draw last September.

Since Canada has qualified for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, we're not even going to bother dredging up memories of 2012 anymore, either. 

As for Curacao, Canada has only played the small nation on one single occassion back in June of 2017, defeating them 2-1 in this international friendly.
