The2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup was the 19th edition of theFIFA U-17 World Cup, the biennial international men's youthfootball tournament contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations ofFIFA. It was held in Indonesia from 10 November to 2 December 2023.[1] This was the first time that Indonesia hosted a FIFA tournament, the first time that the U-17 World Cup was held in Southeast Asia, and the sixth tournament to take place in an Asian country, after China in1985, Japan in1993, South Korea in2007, the United Arab Emirates in2013 and India in2017. It was the third men's FIFA tournament held in Southeast Asia, after the1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia and the2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Thailand.
This edition marked the return of the tournament after a four-year hiatus due to theCOVID-19 pandemic forcing FIFA to cancelthe 2021 edition.[2]
Brazil were the defending champions, having won their fourth title in2019, but were eliminated after losing 3–0 toArgentina in the quarter-finals.
Peru were announced as the 2021 U-17 World Cup hosts following aFIFA Council meeting on 24 October 2019 inShanghai, China.[3]
After the 2021 edition was cancelled, Peru was awarded the hosting rights of the next edition in 2023.[3]
However, after extensive discussions between thePeruvian Football Federation and FIFA on the hosting suitability of Peru caused by its infrastructural deficiencies, Peru withdrew as hosts on 3 April 2023, with FIFA announcing an immediate opening of a replacement hosting rights tender.[4]
On 23 June 2023, FIFA officially appointed Indonesia as the new host, believed to have been in compensation for the loss of the2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup hosting rights which were given to Argentina on 29 March 2023 after many Indonesian politicians, especially governors of the hosting provinces, boycotted theIsraeli team to set foot in that tournament, nine months after the team assured their qualification.[5]
Chairman of theFootball Association of Indonesia (PSSI),Erick Thohir, announced that they would propose eight stadiums to FIFA for hosting the tournament. Six of these stadiums,Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (Jakarta),Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium (Surabaya),Jalak Harupat Stadium (Bandung Regency),Manahan Stadium (Surakarta/Solo),Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium (Bali), andGelora Sriwijaya Stadium (Palembang) were chosen for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup when Indonesia were to be the host. Another two additional stadiums wereJakarta International Stadium andPakansari Stadium.[6]
Thohir subsequently confirmed that both semi-final and final matches would be played at the Manahan Stadium.[7][8]

The 24 teams were organised to be drawn into six groups of four teams. The hosts Indonesia were automatically seeded to Pot 1 and into the first position of Group A, while the remaining teams were seeded into pots based on their results in the last five FIFA U-17 World Cups (with more recent tournaments weighted more heavily, and with five bonus points added to each of the 6 continental champions from the 2023 qualifying tournaments), as follows:[10]

The mascot of the 2023 FIFA U17 World Cup in this edition, named Bacuya, played an important role in inviting people to come to thestadium to see the world's youngfootballers compete. Bacuya, orBadak Cula Cahaya. Thehorned rhino refers to an animal native to Indonesia. Bacuya appeared wearing a red and whiteIndonesian national team jersey.[21]
Bacuya's philosophy is that of a youngJavan rhinoceros who is very shy and reserved. Despite these characteristics, his curiosity compels him to run stoically into the field as if in search of something. Shades of green grass motivate him until he finds a ball. When something suddenly extraordinary happens, his horns light up with new colors.[22]
After previously "Glorious" became the official song for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, this song by theEDM music group from Indonesia namedWeird Genius is again the official song for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup. With new arrangements, this song also features three Indonesian soloists;Lyodra Ginting,Tiara Andini, andZiva Magnolya (LTZ).[23]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bureau of the FIFA Council has decided to cancel the 2021 editions of the men's FIFA U-20 World Cup and FIFA U-17 World Cup, and to appoint Indonesia and Peru respectively, who were due to host the tournaments in 2021, as the hosts of the 2023 editions.
