FIFA U-17 WORLD CUP

(Redirected from FIFA U-17 World Championship)

The 'FIFA U-17 World Cup', formerly the 'FIFA U-17 World Championship' and before the 'FIFA U-16 World Championship', is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 17 and is organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The first edition was hosted by China in 1985 and was won by Nigeria. It has taken place in all odd-numbered years since, with Brazil and Nigeria leading the way with three wins. Ghana won the tournament twice. The age limit was switched from 16 to 17 starting in 1991. The new name for the competition will be used for the first time in the 2007 edition.
South Korea would be the hosts of the 2007 edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The 2009 edition has been zoned to Africa, with Nigeria as likely hosts following a decision of the Confederation of African Football Executive Committee meeting of September 3rd, 2006 to support a Nigerian bid.
A corresponding tournament for female players, the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, will begin in 2008.
