HARRISON, N.J. (June 24, 2015) - Three New York Red Bulls defenders, Roy Miller (Costa Rica), Karl Ouimette (Canada), and Kemar Lawrence (Jamaica), were named to their respective country's 23-man rosters for the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup and will participate in the tournament.
Miller has received more than 50 caps for Costa Rica and is the New York Red Bulls' longest tenured player. Miller has started five matches for the Red Bulls this season. He recently joined the Ticos for a friendly against Spain and Colombia, and represented his country in last summer's FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Lawrence returns to international duty with Jamaica after participating in the 2015 Copa America. He started all three matches for the Reggae Boyz, facing Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. Jamaica did not advance out of the "group of death" but were competitive in all three matches. Lawrence has started 10 matches for the Red Bulls this season.
Ouimette re-joins Canada after receiving a call up for Canada's home-and-away series against Dominica, an early stage World Cup qualifier. Ouimette started in the first leg, a 2-0 victory for Canada, in which he played the full 90 minutes and preserved a shutout. For New York, he's started five matches and played six at center back.
The tournament will pit all three Red Bulls players against one another, as all three will be participating in Group B. Costa Rica, Canada, Jamaica are joined by El Salvador in group B.
The 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup kicks off on July 7, when Miller and Costa Rica face off against Lawrence and Jamaica on July 8. On the same day, Ouimette and Canada will begin their Gold Cup run against El Salvador. The Gold Cup will run through July 26.
