Host selection
Further information: 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup § 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.[3]

After the 2021 tournament was cancelled, it was decided on 24 December 2020 to award the 2023 hosting rights to Peru.[1]

However, Peru withdrew as host on 3 April 2023, following extensive discussions between Peruvian Football Federation (PFF) and FIFA. The move was made given the inability of the host country to fulfill its commitments to completing the infrastructure required to stage the tournament.[4]

Qualified teams

A total of 24 teams will qualify for the final tournament. The host team along with 23 other teams qualified from six separate continental competitions.

Russia was banned from participation due to the country's invasion of Ukraine.
