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.[1]

After the 2021 edition was cancelled, Peru was awarded the hosting rights of the next edition in 2023.[1]

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.[3]

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.
