The 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup was the 12th CONCACAF Gold Cup competition and the 22nd CONCACAF regional championship overall in CONCACAF's fifty years of existence. The United States was the host nation.
The competition began on July 7, 2013, at the Rose Bowl,[1] and ended with the final on July 28, 2013, at Soldier Field,[2] with the United States defeating Panama 1–0. In this edition of the Gold Cup, Mexico participated with an alternative squad due to the main players competing at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup prior to the Gold Cup. Despite not playing with their full squad, they reached the semi-finals where they lost to eventual runners-up Panama with a score of 1–2.
United States won the tournament, which qualified them for a play-off match against the champions of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, to decide which team would represent CONCACAF in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia.[3] The playoff was played in a single match held on October 10, 2015, which Mexico won 3–2.
Qualified teams
[edit | edit source]A total of 12 teams qualified for the tournament. Three berths were allocated to North America, five to Central America, and four to the Caribbean.
Bold indicates that the corresponding team was hosting the event.
Venues
[edit | edit source]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]
CONCACAF announced the 13 host cities and venues for the tournament on January 23, 2013.[5] Each venue will host two matches, with the final being held at Chicago's Soldier Field:
Squads
[edit | edit source]Each team can register a squad of 23 players; 3 of them must be goalkeepers. Any team that qualifies for the knockout stage may replace up to four players in the squad after completion of the group stage, where the new players must come from a provisional list of 35 players chosen before the tournament.[6][7]
Match officials
[edit | edit source]Each CONCACAF federation submitted a list of match officials to the CONCACAF Referee's Commission for the 2013 Gold Cup Tournament.
Group stage
[edit | edit source]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]
- Greater goal difference in all group matches
- Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
- Greatest number of points obtained in group matches between the teams concerned (applicable only to ranking in each group)
- Drawing of lots by the Gold Cup Organizing Committee
This was changed from previous tournaments, where head-to-head record was used as the primary tiebreaker.[7]
