New format

[edit]

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

[edit]

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

[edit]

Final stage

[edit]

In the final stage, if a match was level at the end of normal playing time, penalty shoot-out was used to determine the winner (no extra time was played).[4]

Playoff stage

[edit]

The second-and third-place teams from each group were 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.

Rules for classification: Tiebreakers

Because all four teams finished with the same number 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.
