The 2007 tournament will mark the first visit for Mexico under new coach and Mexican legend Hugo Sanchez. The Mexico team roster includes Rafael Marquez, Oswaldo Sanchez, Jared Borgetti and Cuauhtemoc Blanco. If Mexico finishes first or second among the four teams in Group C they will play in one of the Sunday doubleheader games at Reliant Stadium.

This marks the second time Reliant Stadium and Lone Star Sports and Entertainment has hosted Gold Cup matches following the highly successful event in 2005 when over 105,000 fans attended the two days of matches in Houston.

The attendance in Houston, in 2005, surpassed the attendance at all other cities including New York (semi-finals and finals), Los Angeles, Miami, Boston and Seattle.
