2026 FIFA U-17 World Cup

The FIFA U-17 World Cup is now an annual 48-team tournament, for which round 2 League A acts as Europe's qualifying tournament. UEFA has an allocation of 11 places, which go to the seven group winners (who also compete in the EURO final tournament) and four best runners-up.

Qatar is hosting the annual U-17 World Cups until 2029, with this year's edition running from 19 November to 13 December. Montenegro will make their debut in any FIFA World Cup and Greece, Romania and Serbia have also earned a global U-17 bow. However, holders Portugal (who beat Austria in the 2025 final in Al Rayyan, with Italy ending third) have not qualified.
