Competition history

edit

Until the 1997 tournament, players born on or after 1 August the year they turned 17 years were eligible to compete. Since the 1998 tournament, the date limit has been moved back to 1 January. Starting with qualification for the 2002 tournament, the competition was renamed from Under-16 Championship to Under-17 Championship, but the eligibility rules did not change.
