The 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup was the 20th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It took place in Qatar from 3–27 November. This edition marked the last of the biannual scheduling and the first the new annual cycle adopted by FIFA for the U-17 World Cup and expanded to be the first to be played in a 48-team format. As part of these changes, FIFA also granted Qatar the hosting rights for the tournament for a five-year period from 2025 to 2029. Germany were the defending champions, having won their first title in 2023. They were eliminated in the round of 32 by Burkina Faso, the earliest exit for a team holding the U-17 World Cup title who qualified for the subsequent tournament. Portugal won their first title after defeating Austria 1–0 in the final.
