2008 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament squads

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2008 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament was an international football tournament that was held in Mexico from 2 to 12 April 2008. The six national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of 20 players – of which two had to be goalkeepers – by 31 March 2008,[1] two days prior to the opening match of the tournament. Only players in these squads were eligible to take part in the tournament.

The age listed for each player is on 2 April 2008, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of the tournament. The club listed is the club for which the player last played a competitive match prior to the tournament. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality to their team.[2][3]
