Concacaf makes rule changes to bring Gold Cup in line with other major tournaments

The governing body has taken a step forward by removing quirky regulations that made its top competition stand out

The Gold Cup will do away with its six-player replacement policy and bring extra time back into the tournament's knockout round, among other rule changes aimed at bringing Concacaf's premier tournament into line with other confederations' top competitions.

Previous iterations of the tournament have allowed nations to name 30-man squads and replace up to six players on their roster between the group stage and the knockout round.

Now, the region's managers will be required to name a squad and stick to it.
