2023 WAFF U-17 Girls Championship

Women's national youth association football tournament

The 2023 WAFF U-17 Girls Championship was the fourth edition of the WAFF U-16 Girls Championship, the international women's football youth championship of Western Asia organized by the West Asian Football Federation (WAFF). The final tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Lebanon. However, the tournament was relocated to Jordan due to the adjacent Israel–Hamas war.^[1]

Syria were crowned champions after defeating inaugural edition champions Jordan 1–0 in the final. This marked Syria's first-ever major title in women's football across all age categories.

Lebanon, the two-time defending champions who had secured victory in the previous two editions, faced elimination in the group stage. Despite this setback, they managed to secure a bronze medal by defeating Iraq 2–0 in the third-place game.
