The 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup will be the 12th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup competition and 22nd CONCACAF regional championship overall in CONCACAF's fifty years of existence. The United States will be the host nation.

The competition will begin on July 7, 2013 at the Rose Bowl,[1] and the end with the final on July 28, 2013 at Soldier Field.[2]

The champion of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup will qualify for a play-off match against the champion of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, to decide which team will represent CONCACAF in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.[3] The play-off will be played as a single game in 2015 at a venue to be determined. If the same team wins both tournaments, it will qualify directly to the Confederations Cup.

Venues [edit]

Thirty venues across the United States participated in the start of the stadium selection process with Soccer United Marketing, the event partner for the CONCACAF Gold Cup.[4]

Squads [edit]

For more details on this topic, see 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup squads.

Each team can register a squad of 23 players, 3 of them must be goalkeepers. Between the completion of the group stage and the start of the knockout stage, any team which reach the quarter-finals can replace up to four players in the squad, where the new players must come from a provisional list of 35 players.[6][7]

Group stage [edit]

CONCACAF announced the groups, where the twelve teams were divided into three groups of four teams, and the match schedule for the 2013 Gold Cup on March 13, 2013.[2][8]

In the group stage, if two or more teams are equal on points (including among third-placed teams in different groups), the ranking of teams will be determined as follows:[6]

  1. Greater goal difference in all group matches
  2. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
  3. Greatest number of points obtained in group matches between the teams concerned (applicable only to ranking in each group)
  4. Drawing of lots by the Gold Cup Organizing Committee

This was changed from previous tournaments, where head-to-heard record was used as the primary tiebreaker.[7]
