The 2025 South American U-17 Championship will be the 20th edition of the South American U-17 Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Sub-17, Portuguese: CONMEBOL Sul-Americano Sub-17), the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the men's under-17 national teams of South America. It will be held in Venezuela from 4 to 20 April 2025.[1][2]
Starting from this edition, the tournament will be played every year in line with the annual cycle implemented by FIFA for the FIFA U-17 World Cup.[3]
As a result of the expansion of the FIFA U-17 World Cup format, seven teams will qualify for the U-17 World Cup from this edition onwards, an increase of three berths from the four CONMEBOL teams that previously qualified. The top 7 teams will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar as the CONMEBOL representatives.[4]
Brazil are the defending champions.
