FIFA and Qatar’s Local Organising Committee for Football Events have announced that the FIFA Under-17 World Cup 2026 will be held from November 19 to December 13 in Qatar.
The tournament will be the second of five straight editions to be staged annually in Qatar through 2029.
The 2026 competition will retain the expanded 48-team format, while the final draw is scheduled for May 21 in Zurich, Switzerland.
Matches will take place at the modern Competition Complex in Aspire Zone, which welcomed more than 197,460 fans across 104 matches during the previous edition.
The final will be played at the famous Khalifa International Stadium, where Portugal lifted the trophy last year in front of 38,901 spectators.
