UEFA U17 European Championship History, Format, Organization, Media Coverage
The UEFA U17 European Championship is an annual cup competition contested by the continent’s under-17 men’s national teams. This tournament began in 1982 initially as an under-16 event, with Italy winning the inaugural title, before increasing the age limit by a year in 2002. When held in odd-numbered years, the competition acts as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, with the top five teams from the UEFA U17 European Championship earning tickets to the FIFA event.
