The 2021 South American U-17 Championship will be the 19th edition of the South American U-17 Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Sub-17), the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the men's under-17 national teams of South America. On 6 August 2020, CONMEBOL confirmed that the tournament will be held in Ecuador between 31 March – 25 April 2021.[1]
