CHICAGO (Wednesday, July 2, 2003) — United States Men’s National Team Manager Bruce Arena has finalized the 18-man roster that will defend the team’s confederation championship in the 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup to be held July 12-27 in Foxboro, Mass., Miami, Fla. and Mexico City. Those players will report to Providence, R.I., for training camp on July 7, following the USA’s friendly against Paraguay on July 6 in Columbus at 2:55 p.m. ET live on ESPN2 and Telemundo. Per tournament regulations, 18 players from the initial 25-man roster must be named to the final roster, with seven designated as alternates. Each team is allowed to replace a player from the 18-man roster with one of the seven reserve players at any time during the competition, with the approval of CONCACAF. Once replaced, a player may not return to the competition. The U.S. opens Group C action on July 12 against El Salvador at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass., with kickoff set for 6:30 p.m. ET. Having defeated El Salvador 4-0 in the quarterfinal round in 2002, the U.S. now holds a 9-1-4 advantage in the all-time series. The USA will take on Martinique in the first-ever meeting between the nations on July 14 at 9 p.m. ET in Foxboro, with that match scheduled to be broadcast live on Galavision. All of the USA’s matches can be followed live on ussoccer.com’s MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics. Should the U.S. advance beyond the group phase, their quarterfinal match would be held July 19 in Foxboro. The semifinals are being played in Miami on July 23 and Mexico City on July 24, with the championship final scheduled for July 27 at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. Arena has added Kansas City Wizards defender Nick Garcia to the roster that will host Paraguay on July 6 in Columbus. Garcia, 24, has four appearances for the U.S. MNT, and is listed as one of the alternates for the Gold Cup. U.S. Men's National Team 18-Man Roster
