2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup


The 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup will be the 19th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football championship contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It will be hosted by Peru.
Brazil are the defending champions.

Host selection

Peru were announced as hosts following the FIFA Council meeting on 24 October 2019 in Shanghai, China. They were also one of the bidders to host the 2021 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which was awarded to Indonesia on the same day in exchange for Peru's right to host the U-17 competition.
Peru had previously hosted the tournament in 2005. They were also initially awarded hosting rights of the previous edition in 2019, but were stripped by FIFA in February 2019 after inspection of their facilities.

Qualified teams

A total of 24 teams will qualify for the final tournament. In addition to Peru who automatically qualified as hosts, 23 other teams qualified from six separate continental competitions.
