The 2023 WAFF U-17 Girls Championship was the fourth edition of the WAFF U-17 Girls Championship, the international women's football youth championship of Western Asia organized by the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF). The final tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Lebanon. [1] However, the tournament was relocated to Jordan due to the adjacent Gaza war. [2]
Lebanon were two-time defending champions, having won the last two editions, but failed to defend their title, falling short of the final. Instead, they played in the third-place match and secured the bronze medal. On the other hand, Syria were crowned champions after defeating hosts Jordan 1–0 in the final. [3] [4] This marked Syria's first-ever major title in women's football across all age categories. [5] [6]
Initially, five teams entered the tournament. [1] Iraq and Kuwait were set to debut in the tournament however the latter withdrew due to security concerns. [7]
