The CONCACAF U-17 Women's World Cup qualification, officially called 2025 Concacaf Women’s U-17 Qualifiers Round one, was the qualifying phase for the final round. Twenty-two teams competed for eight spots, joining the four highest-seeded teams in the competition, the United States, Mexico, Canada, and Haiti.[1]

Format changes

Starting in 2025, the top four ranked teams automatically qualified for the final tournament and teams ranked fifth and below competed in qualification. In qualification participating teams were split into six groups. After a round-robin tournament, each group winner and the top two runners-up qualified for the final tournament in March/April 2025. The final tournament was organised into three groups of four, with each group winner and the highest-ranked second place team qualifying for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[2]

Draw

The draw for the group stage took place on 16 October 2024 at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami.[1] The teams were seeded based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-17 Ranking as of 1 March 2024.
