National teams from the Confederation of North, Central American, and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) are typically viewed as underdogs on the global stage, but the region has no shortage of talented players.
The teams that qualified to this tournament from CONCACAF were Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama. The United States was barely edged out after a dramatic loss to Trinidad & Tobago on the final day of qualifying, while Panama secured their qualification after a dramatic late win against Costa Rica.
The top players from the qualified teams in CONCACAF (except Mexico, whose full ratings have already been published) include Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas (Costa Rica), Deportivo de la Coruña midfielder Celso Borges (Costa Rica), and Seattle Sounders center back Roman Torres (Panama).
