Group B, which will be played in Victoria Park in Kingstown, had been the only first-round group without a venue or dates when the schedule was revamped on August 12.

In addition, Group A will begin four days earlier than previously schedule on October 2, and end on October 6. The change was required due to "several complications related to a congested event schedule in the region both sport and culturally related," said CFU General Secretary Angenie Kanhai.

Groups C and D remain unchanged.

The winners of Groups A and B will advance to second-round Group E October 20-24 with host Grenada and Guadeloupe. Trinidad & Tobago will host Group F November 2-6 and be joined by Haiti, the winner of Group C and one of two first-round group runners-up.

Group G in Antigua & Barbuda will be played November 10-14 with Cuba, the Group D winner and another first-round group runner-up.


The three second-round group winners and runners-up will then advance to the third and final stage with host Martinique and Jamaica November 26 to December 5.

The four semifinalists will qualify for next year's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
