CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015 Final 23-player rosters announced
Miami (Tuesday, June 22, 2015) – The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) made public today the official final rosters submitted by the 12 Participating Member Associations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015, to be played from July 7-26 in 13 cities across the U.S. and Canada.
In line with the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015 Regulations, the rosters published today come entirely from the original 35-player provisional rosters emitted earlier this month.
To access the list of final rosters as submitted by the Member Associations for the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015, please visit this link. Per regulation, following the group stage and before the quarterfinals each national team will be permitted to make up to six replacements to its 23-player list. Teams may also make replacements to the 23-player roster up to 24 hours before the kickoff of their initial match, in case of documented injury. All replacements must come from the provisional 35-player list emitted earlier this month.
United States is the defending champion of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Along with the 2013 title, the U.S. secured half a ticket to the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup. The Americans could clinch a berth in that intercontinental competition by defending their title in 2015. If the champion of the 2015 Gold Cup is any team other than the United States, that team will qualify for a playoff match against the U.S. to decide which CONCACAF national team will represent the region in the next Confederations Cup.
The twelve national teams qualified for this year’s tournament are, in alphabetical order: Canada, Costa Rica, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Panama, Trinidad & Tobago and the United States.
Taking place every two years, the Gold Cup has established itself as the region’s most popular national team tournament. Featuring the Confederation’s best players from 12 top nations, the competition routinely draws capacity crowds and millions of television viewers across the region and around the world.
Tickets to the Gold Cup matches are available by visiting www.GoldCup.org. To view and download the complete 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup schedule, visit this link.
