International football competition

The 2024 UEFA European Under-17 Championship (also known as UEFA Under-17 Euro 2024) was the 21st UEFA European Under-17 Championship (40th edition if the Under-16 era is also included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-17 national teams of Europe. Cyprus hosted the tournament.[2] A total of 16 teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2007 eligible to participate.

Germany were the title holders, having beaten France in a penalty shootout in the 2023 final, but were not able to defend their title after failing to qualify for the final tournament.

In the final, Italy defeated Portugal 3–0 to win their second title, winning their first-ever title at this age level and their just second title after the 1982 triumph.

  7. Goals scored in all group matches;
  8. Penalty shoot-out if only two teams had the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and were tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams had the same number of points, or if their rankings were not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
