Africa holds the record for the most victories in the U17 World Cup.

The credit goes first and foremost to Nigeria, which has achieved the remarkable feat of winning the tournament seven times, with their latest triumph dating back to 2015.

In the upcoming edition, scheduled for November 3–27 in Qatar, the continent's ten representatives will be aiming to raise that total to eight titles.

That mission will be anything but easy, especially with all the heavyweights from European and South American football set to compete.

Here’s the complete list of past champions by country:

Nigeria – 5 titles: 1985, 1993, 2007, 2013, 2015

Brazil – 4 titles: 1997, 1999, 2003, 2019

Mexico – 2 titles: 2005, 2011

Germany – 1 title: 2023

France – 1 title: 2001

Soviet Union – 1 title: 1987

Saudi Arabia – 1 title: 1989

Switzerland – 1 title: 2009
