The
2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup will be the 19th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football tournament contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It will be held in Indonesia from 10 November to 2 December 2023. This will be the first time that Indonesia has hosted a FIFA Tournament and will be the first that the FIFA U-17 World Cup will be held in Southeast Asia. It will also be the first time the FIFA Tournament will be held in the region since the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Thailand.
This edition marks the return of the tournament after a 4-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing FIFA to cancel the 2021 edition. Brazil are the defending champions, having won their fourth title in 2019.
Host selection
Peru were announced as the 2021 U-17 World Cup hosts following a FIFA Council meeting on 24 October 2019 in Shanghai, China. After the 2021 edition was cancelled, Peru was awarded the hosting rights of the next edition in 2023. However, after extensive discussions between the Peruvian Football Federation and FIFA on the hosting suitability of Peru caused by its infrastructural defects, Peru withdrew as hosts on 3 April 2023, with FIFA announcing an immediate opening of a replacement hosting rights tender.
On 23 June 2023, FIFA officially appointed Indonesia as the new host, believed to have been in compensation for the loss of the
2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup hosting rights which were given to Argentina after Indonesia took issue with the Israeli team in that tournament.
Qualified teams
A total of 24 teams will qualify for the final tournament. Indonesia, the host team along with 23 other teams qualified from six separate continental competitions.
