The 2025 Under-17 World Cup gets under way in Qatar on Monday, with England and the Republic of Ireland among the nations involved.
There will be 48 teams competing in the tournament, copying the format that will be in use at the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
England’s first match takes place on Tuesday against Venezuela at 15:15 GMT.
The competition has been held every two years since its inauguration in 1985, although the 2021 tournament did not take place.
However, the 2025 tournament marks the start of five U17 World Cups in the next five years – all hosted in Qatar.
England won the tournament in 2017, while Nigeria are the most successful nation with five World Cup victories.
Germany are the defending champions after beating France on penalties in the 2023 final in Indonesia.
