Mexico will host regional qualifying for the 2011 Women’s World Cup.
Qualifying will take place in Cancun and Playa del Carmen from Oct. 28 to Nov. 8, the governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean soccer said Thursday.
The United States, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Haiti will play in Group B in Playa del Carmen, and Canada, Guyana, Mexico and Trinidad and Tobago will play in Group A in Cancun.
The top two teams qualify for the World Cup, and the No. 3 team plays the Europe’s No. 5 in a playoff for another berth.
Regional qualifying was known formerly as the CONCACAF Women’s Gold Cup.
The 16-nation Women’s World Cup runs from June 26 to July 17 next year. Germany is two-time defending world champion. The U.S. won in 1991 and 1999.
