The 2023 WAFF U-17 Girls Championship was the fourth edition of the WAFF U-17 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 Gaza war.
Lebanon were two-time defending champions, having won the last two editions, but failed to defend their title, falling short of the final. Instead, they played in the third-place match and secured the bronze medal. On the other hand, Syria were crowned champions after defeating hosts Jordan 1–0 in the final. This marked Syria's first-ever major title in women's football across all age categories. Participation Participating teams Initially, five teams entered the tournament.
