The 2021 South American U-17 Championship was originally going 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. It was scheduled to be held in Ecuador between 31 March – 25 April 2021,[1] before its suspension and subsequent cancellation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On 22 December 2020 CONMEBOL announced that the tournament would be rescheduled to the second half of 2021 if FIFA decided to cancel the 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup,[2] which was confirmed two days later.[3] On 28 December 2020, CONMEBOL confirmed the rescheduling of the tournament,[4][5] despite the fact that the Colombian Football Federation had announced its cancellation,[6] with October as a possible tentative date and keeping Ecuador as the host country.[7][8] Eventually, CONMEBOL decided to cancel the tournament during a meeting of its council held on 3 August 2021.[9] As the 2021 FIFA U-17 World Cup was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this tournament would not have served as qualifier for any FIFA U-17 World Cup. Originally the top four teams would have qualified as the CONMEBOL representatives, together with Peru which would have qualified automatically as the World Cup hosts (fifth-placed team would also have qualified if Peru were among the top four).[5] Argentina are the defending champions.
