Guadeloupe and Martinique qualified last night for the Gold Cup 2023 finals, Guyana narrowly missed out on penalties.

As in the previous edition in 2021, the teams of Guadeloupe and Martinique will play the final phase of the Concacaf Gold Cup (from June 24 to July 16, in the United States and Canada) following winning their finals playoffs, on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday in Fort Lauderdale (United States). Beaten on penalties, that of Guyana narrowly missed a group shot never before achieved by the three teams.

GUADELOUPE AT HIS HAND

In front of the break on one once morest his camp of Liam Gordon (1-0, 18th), the Try Boys ensured their victory once morest Guyana with a masterful free kick from twenty-five meters from Torino FC defender Andreaw Gravillon (2-0, 57th). Guadeloupe joins a group D where it will have its chance once morest Canada (47th FIFA), Guatemala (116th) and Cuba (165th). What dream to match his best result so far, a semi-final in 2007?

MARTINIQUE TO BON PORT

Best player and scorer (19 goals) in the 2023 Swiss D2 championship with FC Lausanne-Sport, Brighton Labeau headed the Matinino on the way to qualifying once morest Puerto Rico (1-0, 52nd), sealed in added time by US Orléans LF striker Kévin Fortuné (2-0, 90th + 4). For its eighth participation, Martinique (main photo) is poured into a difficult group B with Costa Rica (39th FIFA), Panama (58th) and El Salvador (75th). Repeating his best result, the quarter-finals in 1993 and 2002, will be complicated.

This failure prevents him from playing a second Gold Cup, following that of 2017.
