The Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) announced late Thursday night the decisions taken by the Gold Cup Disciplinary Committee, in the case regarding French Guiana fielding an ineligible player in its July 11 CONCACAF Gold Cup match against Honduras.
