The Uzbekistan Under-17 national football team represents Uzbekistan in international football at the under-17 age level, operating under the Uzbekistan Football Association. This youth team is a critical component of the country's highly regarded football development system, which has produced a golden generation of talent. They compete in the AFC U-17 Asian Cup and its qualifiers, as well as the FIFA U-17 World Cup when they qualify. Uzbekistan has emerged as a major force in Asian youth football in recent years, with their U-17s known for their technical proficiency, physical strength, and tactical discipline. A key era for the team was their triumph at the 2018 AFC U-16 Championship, where they were crowned champions of Asia, showcasing the depth of talent in the country. The current squad is typically drawn from the extensive network of football academies across Uzbekistan, most notably the famous Bunyodkor and Pakhtakor youth setups. Coaches emphasize a possession-based, attacking style of play. The success of the U-17 team is a direct pipeline to the senior national team, and they are consistently among the favorites in any Asian youth tournament they enter.
