The 2025 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship will be the 16th edition of the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the women's under-17 national teams of Europe. Faroe Islands will be hosting the tournament.[1] A total of eight teams will be playing in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2008 eligible to participate.
In the 2024 final, Spain won their fifth title by defeating England 4–0.
This tournament will act as a qualifier for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco from 17 October to 8 November. UEFA's five berths will be taken by the four WU17 Euro semi-finalists and the winner of a play-off between the two teams finishing third in their groups.[2]
50 (out of 55) UEFA nations entered the qualifying competition, with the hosts Faroe Islands also competing despite already qualifying automatically, and seven teams qualified for the final tournament at the end of round 2 to join the hosts.
The draw for the group stage was held on 26 March 2025 at 12:00 at the Philharmonic Hall in Varpið, Klaksvík.[3] The group winners and runners-up advance to the semi-finals and are automatically qualified for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. The third-placed teams in both groups qualify for the play-off match, with the winner also qualifying for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.
