FIFA U-17 World Cup is a competition that was inspired by the Lion City Group that was created by the Football Association of Singapore in 1977.

The Lion City Cup was the first under-16 football tournament in the world. Following FIFA’s then secretary-general Sepp Blatter’s recommendation after he was in Singapore for the 1982 Lion City Cup, FIFA created the FIFA U-16 World Championship.

The first edition was staged in 1985 in China, and tournaments have been played every two years since then.
