The 2007 UNCAF Nations Cup was the ninth version of the biennial football tournament for the CONCACAF national teams of Central America. The event took place in San Salvador, El Salvador from February 8 to February 18, 2007. It was the second time El Salvador hosted the competition. The tournament also served as a qualifying process for the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Contents

Costa Rica won the tournament on penalty kicks after a 1–1 draw with Panama in the final. It was Costa Rica's sixth title out of nine tournaments played. Panama reached the UNCAF final for the first time but also lost on penalty kicks in the final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2005.

Participating nations

For El Salvador 2007, UNCAF considered for the first time since the tournament's founding in 1991 to invite national teams from outside of Central America to participate. The organization was in negotiations with Mexico and Venezuela to participate. In the end, this did not happen, and the tournament (officially listed as the UNCAF Copa de Naciones Digicel) proceeded with only the seven UNCAF members.

Participating teams include the seven UNCAF members:

  •  Belize
  •  Costa Rica
  •  El Salvador
  •  Guatemala
  •  Honduras
  •  Nicaragua
  •  Panama
  • Fifth place
