2022 CONCACAF W Championship final

The United States qualified for the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship by placing in the top two of the FIFA Women's World Rankings.[5] The Americans were placed in Group A along with Haiti, Jamaica, and hosts Mexico.[6] The team is managed by Vlatko Andonovski, who most notably coached the team to a bronze medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics.[7] The United States began their run with a match against Haiti, who many experts predicted would be a 5–0 rout in favor of the US.[8][9] However, after two goals were made by Alex Morgan by the 23rd minute, the US struggled to accurately make their shots on goal, as the shots on target accuracy would be 29%.[10] However, their 3–0 win would soon be validated as Haiti made an upset against Mexico in a 3–0 win.[11]

The United States won against Jamaica in a 5–0 rout, thus securing their spot in the knockout stage and the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[12] The match began with two goals by Sophia Smith in the 5th and 8th minute, and rounded out in the 2nd half with the help of Rose Lavelle, Kristie Mewis, and Trinity Rodman.[13] In the last match of Group A, the United States was up against Mexico, who was underperforming relative to their projected placement in the tournament. However, Mexico put up a defensive fight against the United States, as they only conceded one goal in the 89th minute by Kristie Mewis.[14] The United States would finish the group stage by sweeping Group A.[15]

The United States played against Group B runner-ups Costa Rica in the semi-finals.[16] The United States began with a slow start, as the first goal did not come until Emily Sonnett scored by rebounding the ball into the net in the 34th minute. The pace of the match continued the same as the first half came to a close, since the next goal came from the backheel of Mallory Pugh in the 45+4th minute. The match ended with a quick goal from Ashley Sanchez's attack in the 90+5th minute.[17] Although Costa Rica defended the United States well, there was little to no offense from the Costa Ricans, as there was only one shot in the 3–0 loss, which was not on goal.[18]

Jessie Fleming entered the final as one of the three top scorers with three goals in the tournament.

Canada qualified for the 2022 CONCACAF W Championship by placing in the top two of the FIFA Women's World Rankings.[5] The Canadians were placed in Group B along with Costa Rica, Panama, and Trinidad and Tobago.[6] The team is managed by Bev Priestman, who most notably coached the team to a gold medal in the 2020 Summer Olympics.[7] Canada began their run with a match against Trinidad and Tobago, which ended with a 6–0 domination against the Trinbagonians. The match did take a bit for the Canadians to adapt to, as there was only one goal scored by Christine Sinclair in the first half. However, Canada rolled out in the 2nd half with five goals and had thirteen shots on target.[19]

Canada began their next match of the group stage against Panama, which surprisingly led to a 1–0 win when experts predicted more goals from the Canadian side.[20] The most contributing factor was Panamanian goalkeeper Yenith Bailey having five saves, with Julia Grosso scoring in the 64th minute as the only goal Bailey gave up.[21] Nevertheless, Canada secured their spot in the knockout stage and the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup after this match.[22] The final match of the group stage was against Costa Rica, which ended in a solid 2–0 defensive-oriented win. Two of the three shots on target ended in goals with the help of Jessie Fleming in the 5th and Sophie Schmidt in the 69th minute.[23] Canada would finish the group stage by sweeping Group B.[15]

Canada played against Group A runner-ups Jamaica in the semi-finals.[24] Canada secured the appearance in the final against the United States through a 3–0 win, that featured a healthy pace of goals. Canada's victory originated from Jessie Fleming's header in the 18th minute, Allysha Chapman's header with an assist from Adriana Leon in the 64th minute, and a goal from Leon herself in the 76th minute.[25] Likewise to the offensive performance of Costa Rica against the United States, Jamaica showed little offense as there was only one shot in the entire game, which was not on target.[26]
