Miami (Monday, January 5, 2015) – The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) today officially announced the final 20-man rosters for this year’s CONCACAF Under-20 Championship, to be disputed from January 9-24 in Jamaica.

Twelve teams will compete in the championship, to be played in Kingston and Montego Bay, in a round-robin group stage followed by a championship round. The final rosters for all twelve teams can be found below and at CONCACAF.com, along with tournament news and notes.

Group A is set to contain host Jamaica, along with Trinidad & Tobago, Aruba, Panama, USA and Guatemala. Group B was drawn with Haiti, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Honduras and El Salvador, all listed in order of group position.

The tournament will begin at the National Stadium in Kingston on January 9, with the first three matches of Group A – Aruba vs. Panama, USA vs. Guatemala and Jamaica vs. Trinidad & Tobago. Group B will start its action in Montego Bay the following day, when defending CONCACAF U-20 champion Mexico faces Cuba, followed by Honduras vs. El Salvador and Haiti vs. Canada.

The top team from each group after round-robin play will qualify directly to the FIFA Under-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015, while the second- and third-place nations from each group will play in a final day knockout phase, with the chance to dispute one of a pair of play-in matches which will determine CONCACAF’s other two Under-20 World Cup spots.

All twelve countries participating in the Championship will play five matches during the group round robin phase. The first three match days for Group A will be played in Kingston, while all of the Group B matches as well as the last two match days of Group A will be played at the Montego Bay Sports Complex.
