Draw for the last round determined

Next Friday we will know the schedule of matches for the fifth round in the CONCACAF zone. The confederation has confirmed today that the draw for the last round of games, commonly known as the 'hexagonal round', will take place on 08 July.

Six teams will know their fate of who plays who and their campaign will last one year, starting from November until October 2017. Top 3 teams will go directly into the 2018 World Cup in Russia, while fourth placed will have an additional home and away qualification game with the Asian representative.

Currently we are in the fourth round in this region with only two game days remaining. So far only Mexico have been assured a place in the hexagonal event while the rest 3 teams have equal chance of snatching that second important qualification place in group A (Honduras and Canada are in better position than El Salvador). In group B, Costa Rica is only a win away of securing that fifth round while 2 teams will make fierce battle over the remaining spot (Panama is better placed than Jamaica at this moment). And from the last group, group C, Trinidad and Tobago can join the hexagonal party from November with only one win. As in group B, in this one 2 teams also remained for that second magical place: USA and Guatemala, and their difference among them is only one point. Who will be those five teams we have to wait those two dates: 02 and 06 September.
