The Canada U-17 men's national soccer team (also known as Canada Under-17s or Canada U-17s) represents Canada in international soccer at this age level. They are overseen by the Canadian Soccer Association, the governing body for soccer in Canada.

Many of Canada's current internationals have played at one or more of these age levels early in their career, often working with the same coaches and teammates throughout their progression into the senior squad.

History

The team has qualified for nine out of nineteen FIFA U-17 World Cups. On November 5, 2025, the Canada men's under-17 soccer team achieved its first-ever victory at a FIFA U-17 World Cup by defeating Uganda 2-1 in a match in Doha, Qatar. Elijah Roche scored the equalizer in the 88th minute, and Marius Aiyenero secured the win with a penalty kick in the 98th minute during stoppage time.
