Group C: Honduras, Anguilla, Guyana, and Turks and Caicos Islands
At the end of group stage play, the winner of each group and the best ranked second place finisher will advance to the 2022 CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship (CWU17).
The ranking of the best second-place team will be determined using a weighted points system (total number of points divided by the number of matches played).
The 2022 CONCACAF Women’s Under-17 Championship is scheduled to take place in January. The top ranked 16 teams participating in the Group Stage of the Championship will be divided into four groups. After round-robin play, the top three teams in each group will advance to the Round of 16, joining the four teams from the Qualifiers.
