The 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship was the twelfth edition of UEFA's European Under-17 Football Championship since the re-organising of age group competitions in 2002. Slovakia were hosts of the tournament with games taking place at four venues between 5–17 May.[1]
This competition also acted as a qualifier for the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup, as 6 teams qualified.
