The 1997 South American Under-17 Football Championship was played in Paraguay from 28 February to 16 March 1997.
The host of the competition were the cities of Asunción, Pedro Juan Caballero and Encarnación.
Sandro Hiroshi was banned for 180 days in 1999 when it was discovered that his age had been falsified in the 1997 tournament.[1] Brazil did not face team sanctions as the federation argued that Hiroshi acted without its authorization.
The 10 national teams were divided in 2 groups of 5 teams each. The top 2 teams qualified for the final round.
