The following awards were given at the conclusion of the tournament:[14][20]
- Best Player Award: Alfonso Maquensi
- Young Player Award: Kevin Rueda
- Top Scorer Award: Marvin Sandoval

- With the score 8–3 in favor of Costa Rica and 21 minutes and 1 seconds played, the match was abandoned as Haiti was unable to field the minimum of 3 players. Haiti started the match with a total of 10 players and substitutes, 2 of which were goalkeepers. Several Haitian players left the game due to injury, although under suspicious circumstances as there was no obvious cause in most cases. CONCACAF implied the final score will stand at 8–3 in a news release later the same day.[19]
