Miami, FL  – The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) made public today the final 23-player rosters submitted by the twelve Participating Member Associations for this summer’s marquee Confederation championship, the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup, which will crown a CONCACAF champion.

Jordan Morris (Seattle Sounders FC and USA), Alan Pulido (Chivas Guadalajara and Mexico), Bryan Ruiz (Sporting Clube de Portugal and Costa Rica) and Alberth Elis (Houston Dynamo and Honduras) are among the notable inclusions to the twelve national team rosters.

In accordance with the Competition Regulations, injury-related changes will be allowed to the final 23-player rosters for the Group Stage until 24 hours before each team’s first match. Any injury replacements must come from the announced preliminary 40-player rosters and must be approved by the Gold Cup Medical Committee.

As in past years, teams that qualify for the quarterfinals of this year's Gold Cup will be permitted to amend their 23-player roster following the group stage, by replacing up to six players with new players from the 40-player provisional rosters announced on Wednesday, June 7, 2017.

The 14th edition of the continental championship will begin Friday, July 7 at Red Bull Arena in the New York-New Jersey metropolitan area. That opening double header features a Group A match-up of perennial Central American rivals, Honduras and Costa Rica and 2000 champion Canada facing newcomer French Guiana.

Group B will kick off on July 8, in Nashville, with a rematch of the 2015 Gold Cup third-place match between USA and Panama, followed by Martinique and Nicaragua.

Defending champion Mexico will begin its title defense on July 9 in San Diego, versus El Salvador as the second match of a doubleheader. Curacao and Jamaica will begin play in Group C in the first match of that day.
