The 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup will be the 20th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the annual international men's youth football tournament contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It will be held in Qatar from 3–27 November.[1] It will be the first of the five consecutive U-17 World Cups held in Qatar, preceding the 2026, 2027, 2028 and the 2029 tournaments.

This edition will be the opening of the annual cycle adopted by FIFA for the U-17 World Cup and the first to be played in the 48-team format instead of the previous biennial 24-team tournaments.[2] As part of these changes, FIFA also decided to grant Qatar the hosting rights for the tournament for a five-year period from, 2025 to 2029.[3]

Germany are the defending champions, having won their first title in 2023.

Format changes

Starting with this edition, the FIFA U-17 World Cup will feature a number of changes to its format adopted during 2023. These changes stem from a proposal submitted by the Liberia Football Association at the 71st FIFA Congress held virtually on 21 May 2021, regarding FIFA's youth tournaments.[4][5] FIFA initiated a consultative process among its member associations before publishing a report by the FIFA Chief of Global Football Development Arsène Wenger, which included an annual 48-team U-17 World Cup.[6][7] Over the following months these proposals continued to be evaluated and analysed until they were approved by the FIFA Council in October 2023,[8][9] and then confirmed on 14 March 2024.[3]

The original new competition format would have had 48 participating teams divided into four 12-team mini-tournaments consisting of three groups of four teams in single round-robin format. Within each mini-tournament, the three group winners plus the best second-placed team would advance to the semi-finals (essentially tournament's round of 16) and final (essentially tournament's quarter-finals). The four mini-tournaments winners would qualify for the final four consisting of semi-finals, third place play-off and the grand final, which would determine the champions of the tournament.[7]

In March 2025, FIFA announced that the format would be changed to mirror that of the FIFA World Cup from 2026 onwards. The teams are divided into 12 groups of four teams each, with each group playing in a single round-robin format, thus each team plays three matches. The top two teams from each group (24 teams) and the eight best third-placed teams advance to the knockout stage, starting at the round of 32 all the way to the final. In total, the tournament includes 104 matches, double the amount of past editions.[10]

Host selection

On 15 November 2023, FIFA launched a global call for expressions of interest from member associations to host the next five editions of the U17 World Cup (2025–2029) as a single consolidated package. Member associations had to express their interest no later than 4 December 2023.[11][12]

After a FIFA Council meeting held on 14 March 2024, it was announced that Qatar would host the next five editions of the U-17 World Cup (2025–2029), as part of the new annual cycle implemented by FIFA for the tournament.[13][14] Although FIFA did not disclose whether there were other interested member associations, a joint bid by Indonesia and Singapore and another by Denmark were known to have been submitted.[15][16] This will be the first time that Qatar hosts the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the third time that the tournament will be held in the Arab world.

Venues

The host venues were announced by FIFA on 22 May 2025.[17]

All matches will be held in the city of Al Rayyan inside the "Aspire Zone" sport complex. The final will take place in the Khalifa International Stadium, which is also in the Aspire Zone.

Teams

Qualification

A total of 48 teams qualified for the final tournament. In addition to Qatar, who qualified automatically as the host nation, the other 47 teams qualified from six separate continental competitions. The new expanded slot allocation per confederation was approved by the FIFA Council meeting held on 15 May 2024:[18]

  • AFC (Asia): 9 (including the hosts Qatar)
  • CAF (Africa): 10
  • CONCACAF (North America, Central America and the Caribbean): 8
  • CONMEBOL (South America): 7
  • OFC (Oceania): 3
  • UEFA (Europe): 11

El Salvador, Fiji, Republic of Ireland, Uganda and Zambia will make their debut in the tournament. Uganda will make their first appearance in a FIFA tournament.

Bolivia qualified for a FIFA tournament for the first time since the 1994 FIFA World Cup. After hosting the 2023 edition, Indonesia qualified on merit to a FIFA U-17 World Cup and any FIFA tournament for the first time.[a]

Ecuador, Iran, Poland and Spain failed to qualify having appeared at the 2023 edition.

Seeding

The 48 teams were drawn into twelve groups of four teams. The hosts Qatar were automatically seeded to Pot 1 and into the first position of Group A, while the remaining teams were seeded into pots based on their results in the last five FIFA U-17 World Cups (with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily, using a points-based ranking system as outlined by FIFA).[19]
