The FIFA U-17 World Cup, formerly the FIFA U-17 World Championship and before the FIFA U-16 World Championship, is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 17 and is organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The first edition was hosted by China in 1985 and was won by Nigeria. It has taken place in all odd-numbered years since, with Brazil leading the way with three wins. African countries have also been successful: both Nigeria and Ghana won the tournament twice. The age limit was switched from 16 to 17 starting in 1991. The new name for the competition will be used for the first time in the 2007 edition.
