The 2025 South American U-17 Championship will be the 20th edition of the South American U-17 Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Sub-17, Portuguese: CONMEBOL Sul-Americano Sub-17), the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the men's under-17 national teams of South America. It will be held in Venezuela from 4 to 20 April 2025.
Starting from this edition, the tournament will be played every year in line with the annual cycle implemented by FIFA for the FIFA U-17 World Cup.
As a result of the expansion of the FIFA U-17 World Cup format, seven teams will qualify for the U-17 World Cup from this edition onwards, an increase of three berths from the four CONMEBOL teams that previously qualified. The top 7 teams will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Qatar as the CONMEBOL representatives.
Brazil are the defending champions.




Host nation and venues


Venezuela was announced as host country for the tournament by the CONMEBOL President Alejandro Domínguez during a CONMEBOL Council meeting held on 10 April 2024. This will be the second time that Venezuela hosts the tournament after the 2005 edition.




Teams


All ten CONMEBOL member national teams are eligible to enter the tournament.




Format changes


After three years of evaluation and analysis of the proposal submitted in 2021, FIFA announced on 14 March 2024 that its U-17 World Cup would be expanded to 48 teams and would be held annually from 2025, with Qatar being awarded the hosting rights for the next five tournaments. Consequently, CONMEBOL had to modify the format of the South American U-17 Championship to define the 7 places it was awarded in the new slot allocation of the U-17 World Cup. The new format of the South American U-17 Championship is as follows:

The group stage remains unchanged, with the ten teams being divided into two groups of five teams each. Both groups are played on a single round-robin basis.
The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals and qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup. Winners of semi-finals advance to the final to determine the champions while losers play the third place match.
Teams placed third and fourth in each group will play for the 5th to 8th places, with the third placed teams playing the fourth placed teams in two semi-finals. The winners of the semi-finals play for fifth place and qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup while the losers play for seventh place, with the winner being the last team to qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-17 World.
Teams placed fifth in the group stage will be eliminated.
