Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the CONCACAF Gold Cup

The CONCACAF Gold Cup is North America's major tournament in senior men's football and determines the continental champion.

In earlier editions, the continental championship was held in different countries, but since the inception of the Gold Cup in 1991, the United States are constant hosts or co-hosts.

[3] Since the inaugural tournament in 1963, the Gold Cup was held 27 times and has been won by seven different nations, most often by Mexico (12 titles).

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines became a full FIFA member in 1988, but entered the qualification process for a continental championship for the first time in 1993.

Out of the 31 nations which have participated at Gold Cups or its preceding tournaments, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are one of only two sides which have yet to score a goal.

Defender Ezra Hendrickson has played through both CONCACAF Gold Cup matches for his country. He was one of only three squad members playing abroad, and went on to have a notable professional career in the USA, representing LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew , among others.
