The Copa Centroamericana, a tournament for Central American nations, takes place in Panama
starting Friday. With five places up for grabs in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup seven countries will
take part in the 11th edition of the Centroamericana, which was previously known as the UNCAF
Nations Cup, in the hope of qualifying for the main competition, to be held in the United States
this June.
The 2011 Copa Centroamericana starts tomorrow in Panama, as the seven teams of UNCAF battle for the
five Central American berths to the CONCACAF Gold Cup this summer. Two groups -- one four teams
(Panama, El Salvador, Belize, Nicaragua) and the other three (Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica) --
staging three tripleheaders over four days in one stadium.
Though teams like the United States and Mexico qualify automatically for CONCACAF's Gold Cup, other
countries have to enter through qualifying tournaments. For the seven nations that make up the
Central American Football Union (UNCAF), that means participating in the Copa Centroamericana.
That's the old UNCAF Nations Cup, getting a name change for 2011.
