2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup

Common card · No. 490496

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 at the Rose Bowl, and ended with the final on July 28, 2013, at Soldier Field, with the United States defeating Panama 1–0. In this edition, defending champions Mexico participated with an alternative squad due to the main players competing at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup prior to the Gold Cup. Despite this, they still reached the semi-finals, where they were eliminated by eventual runners-up Panama. As winners of the 2013 tournament, the United States qualified for a play-off match against the champions of the 2015 Gold Cup, which ended up being Mexico, to decide which team would represent CONCACAF at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia. The play-off was a single match held on October 10, 2015, which Mexico won 3–2.
