The <entity_2> was a <entity_5> tournament hosted and organized by the <entity_0>. The <entity_3> edition saw the introduction of a rule that required three players to be named in the starting eleven of each participating team who are eligible (and have declared their intention, if they had otherwise played for another national team) to play for the <entity_6> men's national <entity_5> team. Due to the restructuring of the CONCACAF Champions League, the winner of the <entity_2> would have advanced to a playoff against <entity_4>, the winner of the <entity_1>, to be played in Toronto on <entity_3>, for a place in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League. However, as <entity_4> won the <entity_2>, no playoff game was necessary, and Toronto earned a place in the 2018 CONCACAF Champions League automatically. <entity_4> won <entity_7>–2 on aggregate.
