In the Central American Zone, initially six UNCAF member national teams entered the qualifying competition. They were divided into two groups of three teams, as drawn on 28 February 2015 at the UNCAF Executive Committee meeting in Managua, Nicaragua.[4] Group A, consisting of Panama, Honduras and El Salvador, was to be played between 23–27 June 2015 in Panama, while Group B, consisting of Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Guatemala, was to be played between 1–5 July 2015 in Costa Rica.[4] The two group winners would qualify for the final tournament as the UNCAF representatives.

However, after Honduras were named as hosts and qualified automatically, UNCAF changed the format of the qualifying competition. The five remaining teams were placed in a single group, as confirmed on 3 June 2015 by UNCAF.[5] The matches were played between 31 July and 8 August 2015 in Panama.[6] The winner qualified for the final tournament as the UNCAF representative besides hosts Honduras.
