The 2023 CONCACAF U-17 Championship was the 7th edition of the CONCACAF Under-17 Championship (20th edition if all eras included), the men's under-17 international football tournament organized by CONCACAF.[1] It was hosted by Guatemala between 11 February and 26 February 2023.[2][3] The top four teams qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia as CONCACAF representatives.
Mexico were the defending champions, and won a fifth consecutive title.
Qualified teams
[edit]The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Men's Under-17 Ranking as of December 2019.[4] A total of 38 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 twenty-two 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.[5]

Group stage
[edit]The top three teams in each group advanced to the round of 16, where they will be joined by the four teams advancing from the qualifying round. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers will be applied in the following order:[7]
- Greater goal difference in all group matches;
- Greater number of goals scored in all group matches;
- Greater number of points in matches between the tied teams;
- Greater goal difference in matches between the tied teams (if more than two teams finished equal on points);
- Greater number of goals scored in matches among the tied teams (if more than two teams finished equal in points);
- The lower number of points based on the number of yellow and red cards in all group matches is considered according to the following additions:
- Yellow card: −1 point;
- Indirect red card (second yellow card): −3 points;
- Direct red card: −4 points;
- Yellow card and direct red card: −5 points;
- Drawing of lots.
All times are in GTT (UTC−6).[8][9]
