The 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup was the 17th FIFA U-17 World Cup, a biennial international football tournament contested by men's under-17 national teams. Organised by FIFA, the tournament took place in India from 6 to 28 October 2017, after the country was awarded the hosting rights on 5 December 2013. The tournament marked the first time India hosted a FIFA tournament and the fifth Asian country to host U-17 World Cup after China in 1985, Japan in 1993, South Korea in 2007 and United Arab Emirates in 2013. The attendance for this World Cup was a record 1,347,133, surpassing China's record in 1985 with 1,230,976.
The matches were played in six stadiums in six host cities around the country, with the final taking place at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata. Twenty-three teams, besides the host India, managed to qualify for the tournament via participating in their various continental under-17 tournaments. In the first round of the tournament finals, the teams competed in round-robin groups of four for points, where the top two teams in each group along with the top four third placed teams would advance to the next round. These 16 teams will advance to the knockout stage, where three rounds of play decided which teams would participate in the final.
England won the U-17 World Cup for the first time after coming back from a two-goal deficit and beating Spain 5–2 in the final.{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/28/england-under-17-spain-under-17-world-cup|title=England Under-17s overwhelm Spain to land spectacular World Cup win|date=28 October 2017|work=Guardian|access-date=31 October 2017|archive-date=28 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171028235036/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/oct/28/england-under-17-spain-under-17-world-cup|url-status=live}} This made England the second nation, after Brazil in 2003, to win both of FIFA's male age-capped (U-20 and U-17) World Cups in the same calendar year.{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/under17/news/0252-0cda41a0099a-6aae2e6dec23-1000--england-double-up-by-winning-u17-world-cup/|title=England double up by winning U17 World Cup|publisher=UEFA|date=28 October 2017|access-date=29 October 2017|archive-date=29 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171029095712/http://www.uefa.com/under17/news/newsid=2513334.html|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41788830|title=England win U17 World Cup: Young Lions fight back to beat Spain in final|date=28 October 2017|work=BBC Sport|access-date=31 October 2017|archive-date=31 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171031033114/http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41788830|url-status=live}} England has also become the third country, after Brazil and North Korea, to win both U-17 and U-20 World Cup in their respective gender tournaments on the same year, as North Korea had also won both U-17 and U-20 Women's World Cup the previous year.

Knockout stage
In the knockout stages, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, the match is determined by a penalty shoot-out (no extra time is played).
In the round of 16, the four third-placed teams were matched with the winners of groups A, B, C, and D. The specific match-ups involving the third-placed teams depend on which four third-placed teams qualified for the round of 16:

First and foremost, the fans have filled the stadiums in all the matches, showing fair play and respect, cheering on all the teams, and really loving the football they have seen. The figures speak for themselves: more than 1.2 million fans attended games at the stadiums. By the final matchday, we’re probably going to break the [attendance] record of all the other U-17 World Cups and we might even break the record for the U-20 World Cup, which is an amazing achievement. It really shows that India is a footballing nation in every sense. The hard work put in place during so many years has received a great response from everybody. It has been a very proud moment for all of us."{{cite web|title=India 2017 hailed as a fantastic tournament|url=https://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/news/y=2017/m=10/news=india-2017-hailed-as-a-fantastic-tournament-2917676.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171026190417/http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/news/y=2017/m=10/news=india-2017-hailed-as-a-fantastic-tournament-2917676.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 October 2017|website=FIFA.com|access-date=17 February 2018|date=26 October 2017}}
The tournament was the most attended and highest scoring edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in history.
