Football tournament

The UEFA European Under-17 Championship or simply UEFA Under-17 Championship, is an annual football competition contested by the European men’s under-17 national teams of the member associations of UEFA.

Spain is the most successful team in this competition, having won nine titles. France are the current champions.

History and format[edit]

Year of tournament Format Number of teams
1982–1984 Semi-finals, third place play-off and final 4
1985–1992 Four groups of four teams, semi-finals, third place play-off and final 16
1993–2002 Four groups of four teams, quarter-finals, semi-finals, third place play-off and final
2003–2006 Two groups of four teams, semi-finals, third place play-off and final 8

2015–present Four groups of four teams, quarter-finals, play-offs between quarter-final losers (in odd years only, for qualifying to FIFA U-17 World Cup), semi-finals, and final 16

The current competition format consists of three stages: a qualifying round, an elite round and a final tournament. The first stage takes place in autumn of the previous year, while the elite round is played in spring. The winners of each elite round group join the host team in the final tournament, played in May. Until the 1997 tournament, players born on or after 1 August the year they turned 17 years were eligible to compete. Since the 1998 tournament, the date limit has been moved back to 1 January.[1]
In 2001/2002 the competition was renamed European Under-17 Championship, but the eligibility rules did not change.
