The 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup was an international football tournament held in the United States from 10 July to 1 August 2021. The sixteen participating national teams were required to register a squad of 23 players, of which three have to be goalkeepers. Only players in these squads are eligible to take part in the tournament.[1]
Each national team had to submit a provisional list of up to sixty players (including at least four goalkeepers) to CONCACAF no later than thirty days prior to the start of the tournament and no players could be added after the specified deadline. The final list of 23 players per national team had to be submitted to CONCACAF by 1 July 2021, ten days before the opening match of the tournament. All players in the final list had to be chosen from the respective provisional list. In the event that a player on the submitted final list suffered a serious injury or illness up to 24 hours before the kick-off of his team's first match of the tournament, that player could be replaced, provided that the team doctor and a doctor from the CONCACAF Medical Committee both confirmed that the injury or illness is severe enough to prevent the player's participation in the tournament. The replacement player must come from the provisional list and will be assigned the shirt number of the replaced player.
The twelve national teams that participated in the qualifying stage were also required to submit their provisional and final lists within the deadlines indicated above.[2]
CONCACAF published the provisional lists on 18 June 2021,[2] and the final lists on 1 July 2021.[3] On 19 July 2021, CONCACAF announced that national teams qualified for the knockout stage could replace players in case of serious injury or illness (primarily players who tested positive for SARS‑CoV‑2) confirmed by the CONCACAF Medical Committee until 24 hours before the kick-off of their quarter-finals match. The replacement players must come from the provisional list submitted previously.[4]
The age listed for each player is on 10 July 2021, 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 before the tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches who are of a different nationality than their own national team.
