With the way the organizers draw lots to divide the groups, the strong teams are spread out in different groups. And not having to face Viettel, Hanoi, PVF or HAGL in the qualifying round is an advantage for U17 SLNA. Because the qualifying round will select 11 teams including: 4 First-placed teams, 4 Second-placed teams and 3 Third-placed teams with the best results in the four groups.

The teams will compete in a two-round round robin to determine rankings in each group. The Organizing Committee will select the 4 First Place Teams, 4 Second Place Teams and 3 Third Place Teams with higher scores and indexes in the four groups to enter the Final Round taking place in Ho Chi Minh City.

The qualifying round is scheduled to take place from May 25 to June 16, 2017. The final round will take place from July 3 to July 18, 2017.
