A total of eight venues in seven cities were proposed by FEF in July 2016, days later Latacunga was added as a possible venue. Tulcán was also nominated, but was finally dismissed along with Cuenca, Machala and Portoviejo. Eventually, five venues were confirmed to host the matches, Estadio Bellavista in Ambato, Estadio Olímpico de Riobamba in Riobamba and Estadio La Cocha in Latacunga for the Group A; Estadio Olímpico de Ibarra in Ibarra for the Group B while the final stage took place at Estadio Olímpico Atahualpa in Quito. However, on 5 January 2017, Estadio La Cocha in Latacunga was dropped as refurbishment work was not completed in time.

Draw

Originally, the draw was scheduled for 30 November 2016 in Montevideo but had to be postponed due to crash of LaMia Flight 2933 that occurred on 28 November 2016. It was rescheduled to be held on 7 December 2016, 11:00 PYT (UTC−3), at the CONMEBOL headquarters in Luque, Paraguay. The ten teams were drawn into two groups of five. Ecuador (hosts) and Argentina (title holders) were seeded into Group A and Group B respectively and assigned to position 1 in their group, while the remaining teams were placed into four "pairing pots" according to their results in the 2015 South American U-20 Championship (shown in brackets).

First stage

The top three teams in each group advanced to the final stage.

Tiebreakers

When teams finished level of points, the final rankings were determined according to:

1. goal difference
2. goals scored
3. head-to-head result between tied teams (two teams only)
4. drawing of lots

All times local, ECT (UTC−5).
