2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup final

The 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup final was a soccer match played on February 27, 2000 by Canada and Invited Guest Colombia, at the Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles, to determine the winner of the 2000 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Canada beat Colombia 2–0. This was Canada's first Gold Cup title and its second major title, the first since the 1985 CONCACAF Championship. As the Gold Cup champions, Canada represented CONCACAF at the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup in Japan.

Background
As the lowest-ranked member of the North American Football Union, Canada did not have an automatic CONCACAF Gold Cup berth. They instead had to play three qualification matches, held in 1999 in the United States. The Canadians qualified by leading the group ahead of Haiti, the other qualified nation; below them were Cuba and El Salvador, who both failed to qualify.

Colombia, a member of CONMEBOL was invited to the tournament by CONCACAF. Peru was also invited to the 2000 edition, making them the second South American countries to play the Gold Cup after Brazil, which participated in 1996 and in 1998. By reaching the final match, Colombia repeated the same record as Brazil in 1998.

Both, Colombia and Canada had been runner-ups in their groups during the first round, respectively Groups A and D. However, Canada and South Korea, another invited participant, tied in every criterion in Group D and the qualification had to be decided in the coin toss, favoring Canada.

At the time of the competition, Canada hadn't won a major title since 1985, while Colombia had yet to win a major title in its history.
