Host selection

Further information: 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup § Host selection

Peru were announced as the 2021 U-17 World Cup hosts following a FIFA Council meeting on 24 October 2019 in Shanghai, China.[3]

After the 2021 tournament was cancelled, it was decided on 24 December 2020 to award the 2023 hosting rights to Peru.[1]

This will be the second time that Peru hosts a FIFA tournament, having previously done so in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Championship.

Venues

In June 2022, the Peruvian Football Federation and Instituto Peruano del Deporte proposed Piura, Chiclayo, Lima, Callao and Tacna as the host cities of the tournament, with Miguel Grau (Piura), Elías Aguirre, Nacional, Miguel Grau (Callao) and Jorge Basadre stadiums to host the matches.[4][5]

Piura, Chiclayo and Lima, with the same stadiums, were also host cities in the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Originally Piura, Chiclayo, Lima and Iquitos (also host cities in 2005) were the four cities proposed to host the tournament.[6][7] However, Iquitos was later rejected and replaced by Callao and Tacna.
