New format
Previously there were four groups of three teams during the group stage of the competition, each team played a minimum of two games and the previous format had a total of 20 matches. As from 2015 there will be two groups of six teams, each team will play a minimum of five games and the competition will have a total of 33 matches. CONCACAF stated that the new format would aid development and competition.[1]
The knockout phase, which included eight matches, consisted of four quarterfinals, two semifinals, a third-place playoff and a final, has been replaced with two playoff games and a final.
Draw
The draw took place on 8 December at the Chamber of Commerce and Industries of Cortés, Honduras.[2]
On 2 December 2014, CONCACAF announced the procedure of the draw.[3] The 12 teams were divided into three differing pots:
Pot | Teams |
---|---|
Pot 1 (Central America) | |
Pot 2 (Caribbean) | |
Pot 3 (North America) | |
Pot A (Seeding for Group A) | Six balls with a group positions, 1-6 |
Pot B (Seeding for Group B) | Six balls with a group positions, 1-6 |
Prior to the draw, hosts Honduras were assigned to position A1. The remaining teams in Pot 1 were drawn, alternating between groups A and B. Teams were assigned a position from Pot A (Group A) or Pot B (Group B). After all teams had been drawn from Pot 1, the draw proceeded (continuing to alternate between Groups A and B) to Pot 2, then Pot 3.[3]
Squads
Lua error in Module:Details at line 30: attempt to call field '_formatLink' (a nil value).
Only players born on or after 1 January 1998 are eligible to play in the tournament. Each participating national association must provide a provisional list of 20-30 players to CONCACAF 30 days before their first match. A final 20-man selection must be provided upon arrival in the venue.[4]
Group stage
The twelve teams shall be divided into a group stage consisting of two groups (A, B) of six teams each. The group winners qualify automatically for the Final and the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup, while the runners-up and third place teams are reseeded amongst each other and play a repechage play-off for the last two CONCACAF slots at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
CONCACAF have stated that on each match day, three matches will be played at the same stadium (described as a "triple header").[1]
Tiebreaking criteria
The regulations state that:
"At the end of group play, and should two or more teams finish tied on points (including ties among third place teams), the manner in which teams will advance to the next round will be resolved as follows and in the order indicated:
- a. Greater number of points in matches between the tied teams
- b. Greater goal difference in matches between the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points)
- c. Greater number of goals scored in matches among the tied teams (if more than two teams finish equal on points)
- d. Greater goal difference in all group matches
- e. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches
- f. Drawing of lots"[4]

Final stage
In the final stage, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, penalty shoot-out is used to determine the winner (no extra time is played).[4]
Playoff stage
The second-and third-place teams from each group are re-seeded by group stage results, with the best team facing the fourth-best team, and the second-best team facing the third-best team.
Ranking of second and third-placed teams Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.
Because all four teams finished with the same amount of points and not all of them faced each other, the first playoff tiebreaker used for reseeding was goal differential in all group matches. Because two teams were tied on goal differential, the No. 3 and 4 seeds were determined based on total goals scored in the tournament.[5] This resulted in both third-place teams being ranked ahead of both second-place teams.
