The 2025 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship was the 16th edition of the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the women's under-17 national teams of Europe. Faroe Islands hosted the tournament.[1] A total of eight teams are playing in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2008 eligible to participate.

In the 2024 final, Spain won their fifth title by defeating England 4–0.

This tournament acted as a qualifier for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco from 17 October to 8 November. UEFA's five berths were taken by the four WU17 Euro semi-finalists and the winner of a play-off between the two teams finishing third in their groups.[2]

Qualification

50 (out of 55) UEFA nations entered the qualifying competition, with the hosts Faroe Islands also competing despite already qualifying automatically, and seven teams qualified for the final tournament at the end of round 2 to join the hosts.
