Player representation by leagues & divisions

Soccer Leagues Ranking 2021 — CONCACAF GOLD CUP 2021

The tables show the number of players called up for Gold Cup 2021 representing specific leagues and divisions. The first table contains figures related to the player representation by divisions (incl. lower level divisions), but the second table shows the player representation by countries of leagues (country league systems).

The “Foreigners” column means number of footballers playing outside their native country. The “Domestic” column is related to number of players playing in the league of the same country as the national team represented by them.

In a case of break in the leagues season the player is assigned to the lower league when his club will take a part in the lower division in the next season (the same is in a reverse situation when the club has been just promoted to the upper division). The reference club is the club for which the player last played a competitive match prior to the tournament.

The most representative division is MLS and the most representative country of league is US. The most representative European leagues are 2nd level divisions: EFL Championship from England and Ligue 2 from France. Most of the players from the European leagues come from the English leagues.

Rosters valid on the date of the first match of the team are taking into consideration in the rankings.

Changes after the first team match that are not included:

Mexico: Hirving Lozano (until 21 July), Napoli, Serie A / Rodolfo Pizarro (since 21 July), Inter Miami, MLS
