The 2023 South American U-17 Championship was the 19th edition of the South American U-17 Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Sub-17), the biennial international youth football championship organized by CONMEBOL for the men's under-17 national teams of South America. It was held in Ecuador between 30 March and 23 April 2023.[1][2] This was the first U-17 championship in four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing CONMEBOL to cancel the tournament in 2021.[3]

Venues

Ecuador was originally chosen to host the 2021 South American U-17 Championship.[6] Although the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ecuador maintained its right to hold the South American U-17 Championship in 2023.[1] It was the fourth time that Ecuador hosted the tournament, having previously done so in 1988 (under-16 edition), 2007 and 2011.

Guayaquil and Quito were selected as host cities.[7] Originally, Guayaquil would host the first stage matches in two venues, the Christian Benítez Betancourt and George Capwell stadiums.[8][9] Subsequently, the Estadio Monumental Isidro Romero Carbo was added as a venue to host four matches of Group A.[10] The matches in the final stage were played in Quito in two venues, the Olímpico Atahualpa and Rodrigo Paz Delgado stadiums.[8][9]
