2009 CONCACAF U-17 Championship


The 2009 CONCACAF U17 Championship was the football championship tournament for under-17 in the CONCACAF region, and was formatted to determine the four CONCACAF representatives to advance to the 2009 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Nigeria. The 8-team tournament was originally scheduled to be played from April 21 to May 2 and hosted by Mexico at the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana. However, the tournament was cancelled on April 27 due to the swine flu outbreak in Mexico. At the time that the tournament was cancelled the group stage had already been played, and the four teams who could qualify to the U-17 World Cup - Costa Rica, Honduras, Mexico, and the United States - had already done so.
