Group C of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup was one of three groups competing at the tournament. The group's first round of matches were played on July 9, with the final round played on July 16. All six group matches were played at venues in the United States, in Portland, Oregon, Sandy, Utah and East Hartford, Connecticut. The group consisted of the host, and four time Gold Cup champions, United States, as well as Belize, Costa Rica and Cuba.[1] Three members of the Belizean team told FIFA officials that they were offered a bribe to throw their match against the United States. They declined the offer and a subsequent offer to not report the bribery attempt.[2]
