The 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup was the 19th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football tournament contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. 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 in 1985, Japan in 1993, South Korea in 2007, the United Arab Emirates in 2013 and India in 2017. It was the third men's FIFA tournament held in Southeast Asia, after the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia and the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Thailand.

Contents

This edition marked the return of the tournament after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing FIFA to cancel the 2021 edition. [2]

Brazil were the defending champions, having won their fourth title in 2019, but were eliminated after losing 3–0 to Argentina in the quarter-finals.

Host selection

Peru were announced as the 2021 U-17 World Cup hosts following a FIFA Council meeting on 24 October 2019 in Shanghai, 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 the Peruvian 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 the 2023 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 the Israeli team to set foot in that tournament, nine months after the team assured their qualification. [5]

Venues

Chairman of the Football 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), and Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium (Palembang) were chosen for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup when Indonesia were eligible to be the host. Another two additional stadiums were Jakarta International Stadium and Pakansari Stadium. [6]

Erick Thohir subsequently confirmed that both semi-final and final matches would be played at the Manahan Stadium. [7] [8]

Mascot

The mascot of the 2023 FIFA U17 World Cup in this edition, named Bacuya, played an important role in inviting people to come to the stadium to see the world's young footballers compete. Bacuya, or Badak Cula Cahaya. The horned rhino refers to an animal native to Indonesia. Bacuya appeared wearing a red and white Indonesian national team jersey. [22]

Bacuya's philosophy is that of a young Javan 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. [23]

Music

After previously "Glorious" became the official song for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup, this song by the EDM music group from Indonesia named Weird 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, and Ziva Magnolya (LTZ). [24]
