The Caribbean Football Union (CFU) representative, Haiti, met the Central American Football Union (UNCAF) representative, Nicaragua, in the play-off.
The matches took place on 24 and 28 March 2017, as it was the only international window on the FIFA International Match Calendar that occurred after the 2017 Copa Centroamericana and 2016 Caribbean Cup fifth place playoff had finished but before the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup was scheduled to begin. CONCACAF conducted a draw to determine the order of matches, at the CONCACAF Headquarters in Miami Beach, Florida, on 3 February 2017, 12:00 EST (UTC−5).[2][3][4]
Nicaragua overcame a 3–1 first leg deficit to defeat Haiti 3–0 in the second leg and win the play-off 4–3 on aggregate, qualifying for their second appearance in the Gold Cup and their first since 2009.[5][6]
