The tournament also served as a direct qualifier for the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics, with the winner and runner-up qualifying. However, since Argentina has already qualified as the hosts, but also won this competition, the second and third-placed teams (Uruguay and Mexico) qualified for the Summer Youth Olympics.
