The 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the 11th edition of the CONCACAF Gold Cup competition and 20th CONCACAF regional championship overall in CONCACAF's fifty years of existence. The United States was the host nation; with over 93,000 in attendance, the final was played at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California on June 25, 2011.[2]

As winner of the tournament, Mexico qualifies for the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil as the representative from CONCACAF.[3][4]

Squads

Further information: 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup squads

Each team can register a squad of 23 players.

Suspension of Mexican players

It was announced during the tournament on June 9, 2011, that five Mexican players, Antônio Naelson Sinha, Christian Bermúdez, Édgar Dueñas, Francisco Javier Rodríguez and Guillermo Ochoa, all tested positive for clenbuterol prior to the Gold Cup and have therefore been withdrawn from the squad.[6] Mexican officials said they believed the positive tests were caused by eating meat tainted with the drug.[7] CONCACAF General Secretary Chuck Blazer said a meeting of the confederation's national teams committee, which also serves as the organizing committee of the Gold Cup, was to be convened on June 10 to consider the situation, including possibly allowing Mexico to replace the five players. However, the meeting was postponed to allow for more information to be gathered.[8] The Mexican Football Federation said on June 14 that the "B" samples of those five involving players were negative.[9] The CONCACAF Gold Cup Organizing Committee announced on June 19 that Mexico will be allowed to replace the suspended players.[10]

Draw

The teams learned their path to the regional title when CONCACAF announced the groups and match schedule for the 2011 Gold Cup on concacaf.com Tuesday, March 8 at 12 pm ET. The confederation championship will run from June 5 to 25 in 13 different stadiums across the United States, culminating at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena for the championship final.[11]

Group stage

For the first round, or group stage, the twelve teams were divided into three groups of four teams. Each group was a round-robin of six games, where each team played one match against each of the other teams in the same group. Teams were awarded three points for a win, one point for a draw and none for a defeat. The teams finishing first and second in each group, as well as the two best-placed third teams among all groups, qualified for the quarter-finals.

If two or more teams are equal on points (including ties among third place teams), the manner in which teams will advance to the next round will be resolved as follows and in the order indicated:[12]

  1. Greater number of points in matches between the tied teams.
  2. Greater goal difference in matches between the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
  3. Greater number of goals scored in matches among the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points).
  4. Greater goal difference in all group matches.
  5. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches.
  6. Drawing of lots.
