2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship


The 2025 UEFA European Under-17 Championship was the 22nd edition of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, the annual international football competition contested by the men's under-17 national teams of the UEFA member associations. Albania was selected by UEFA on 26 September 2023 to host the final tournament, for the first time.
A total of eight teams competed in the final tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2008 eligible to participate. Unlike previous editions held in odd-numbered years, the tournament qualification competition served as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, while the final tournament no longer served as the UEFA qualifiers, with the top 11 teams qualifying for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar as the UEFA representatives, while the final tournament had only eight teams competed.
Portugal won the competition for the 7th time after defeating France 3–0 in the final.
