The FIFA Council held a meeting on 14 March 2024 and announced that Qatar had been selected as the host country for the next five editions of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, from 2025 to 2029. The latest FIFA Council meeting confirmed that Qatar will host the upcoming five editions of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will now feature 48 teams.

This decision was made after a worldwide call for proposals to host both competitions. The focus was on making use of the existing football infrastructure to ensure the tournament is efficient and sustainable.

Additionally, starting from 2025, Morocco will host the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup annually. The tournament has been expanded to 24 teams.
