2017

The 2019 CONCACAF U-17 Championship was the 6th edition of the CONCACAF Under-17 Championship (19th edition if all eras included), the men's under-17 international football tournament organized by CONCACAF. It was hosted in the United States between 1 May and 16 May 2019.[1][2] The top four teams qualified for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil as CONCACAF representatives. Mexico were the defending champions, and won a fourth consecutive title.

Qualified teams

The format for qualification had changed since the 2017 edition. The qualifying competition no longer featured Caribbean and Central American zones. The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Men’s Under-17 Ranking as of May 2017. A total of 35 teams entered the tournament. The sixteen highest-ranked entrants were exempt from qualifying and advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the lowest-ranked nineteen entrants had to participate in qualifying, where the four group winners advanced to the round of 16 of the knockout stage of the final tournament.[1][2]
