The football tournament at the 2017 Central American Games took place in December 2017.

Contents

The tournament acted as a qualifying tournament for the Central American nations for the 2018 Central American and Caribbean Games. Three teams qualified from the men's tournament, two teams qualified from the women's tournament. [1]

The men's tournament was restricted to those born after 1 January 1997 and the women's tournament had no age restrictions. [2] [3]

Teams

In October 2017, CONCACAF wrote to ORDECA to confirm that teams from Guatemala would not be eligible for the competitions due to suspension of the National Football Federation of Guatemala from FIFA. [4] Honduras and Belize did not enter a team into the women's competition.
