The tournament went back to the [[United States]] and [[California]]; the games were hosted by [[Los Angeles]], [[San Diego]], and [[Anaheim]]. The format of the tournament changed from [[1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup|1993]]: it was expanded to nine teams, separated into three groups of three. The top team in each group, plus the best second-place finisher would advance to the semifinals. For the first time, a non-CONCACAF team was invited: [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], who sent their Under-23 side. [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] won their second straight Gold Cup, beating the Brazilians 2-0 in the final. ==CONCACAF squads== *[[1996 CONCACAF Gold Cup squads]] ==First round== ===Group
