### Cuba vs Guadeloupe

The two teams had met in nine previous matches, but never in the Gold Cup. Both sides met mostly in Caribbean Football Union events (e.g. the Caribbean Cup, until its discontinuation in 2017) as Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member; however, their two most recent meetings took place in the 2022–23 CONCACAF Nations League B, with a home win for each side.

Prior to this match it was reported that four Cuban players left their team delegation on the night of June 27, after the game against Guatemala and before flying from Miami to Houston to face Guadeloupe. The four players who defected were Roberney Caballero, Denilson Milanés, Neisser Sandó and Jassael Herrera.
