Note: The Nike Friendlies is a preparation tournament for CONCACAF qualifying next year. The top four teams of the CONCACAF championship would then advance to the 2019 WC to be played in Peru.

As a side note, The U17 Women's National Team recently participated in their respective 2018 WC in Uruguay a couple of weeks ago with mixed results. Unfortunately, they did not make it out of their bracket.
