year round Sp S. U N Gates Remarks
China People's RepublicPeople's Republic of China 1985 Preliminary round 3 1 1 1 03: 03 After a 0-0 win against Hungary and a 3-1 win against Qatar, a draw against Brazil would have been enough to advance, as the Seleção had previously lost 1-0 to Hungary. But Mexico lost 2-0 (0-0) and were eliminated in third place.
CanadaCanada 1987 Preliminary round 3 1 1 1 03: 09 After a 2-2 defeat against Bolivia and a tough 7-0 defeat against the Soviet Union, a 1-0 win against reigning world champions Nigeria was no longer enough to advance, but was still enough to make it to third place. How difficult the Mexican group was, becomes clear when you keep in mind that the two group opponents, the Soviet Union and Nigeria, also faced each other in the final.
ScotlandScotland 1989 Disqualified after the Mexican Federation failed to adhere to player age limits when qualifying for the Seoul Olympics.
ItalyItaly 1991 Preliminary round 3 1 0 2 05: 06 Disappointing performance of the Mexicans, who finished last in the group for the first time at a U-17 World Cup. After a 3: 4 against Australia and a 1: 0 against Qatar they failed with a 1: 2 in the last game against Congo.
JapanJapan 1993 Preliminary round 3 1 0 2 04: 07 The 2: 1 in the first game against Italy ultimately only secured third place in group A, the Ghana with 9: 1 goals and 6: 0 points (4: 1 against Mexico) before hosts Japan (2: 1 against Mexico) won.
EcuadorEcuador 1995 Not qualified
EgyptEgypt 1997 Preliminary round 3 1 0 2 08: 06 After a 2: 3 against Spain and a 5: 0 against New Zealand a draw against Mali would have been enough to get through for the first time, but lost with 1: 3 and took third place once again.
New ZealandNew Zealand 1999 Quarter finals 4th 2 0 2 07: 07 Mexico survived the group stage for the first time. After a 4-0 win against Thailand and a 4-0 win against Ghana, Mexico had to beat Spain, who already had four points, to make it 1-0. In the quarter-finals, El Tri lost 3-2 to the USA.

Trinidad and TobagoTrinidad and Tobago 2001 Not qualified
FinlandFinland 2003 Quarter finals 4th 1 2 1 05: 05 After a 0-0 win against Colombia and a 2-0 win against hosts Finland, Mexico were top of the table and could hope to become group winners at a U-17 World Cup for the first time. But a 3: 3 in the last game against the bottom of the table China and a simultaneous 9: 1 victory of the Colombians against the Finns banished El Tri to second place. Again they were eliminated in the quarter-finals, this time with 0-2 against Argentina.
PeruPeru 2005 World Champion 6th 5 0 1 16: 03 The “golden generation” of Mexican football around superstar Giovani dos Santos , who started the tournament with a lot of confidence, missed group victory due to a 2-1 defeat against Turkey and needed extra time in the quarter-finals to prevail 3-1 against Costa Rica , but really got going towards the end of the tournament and overtook the Dutch 4-0 in the semifinals and the Brazilians 3-0 in the final. In addition, the Mexican Carlos Vela became the tournament's top scorer with five goals.
Korea SouthSouth Korea 2007 Not qualified

United Arab EmiratesUnited Arab Emirates 2013 Vice world champion 7th 5 0 2 11:11 Mexico experienced the biggest defeat that a defending champion has ever suffered in an opening game with a 1: 6 opening defeat against Nigeria. Mexico won the next five games (including an 11-10 win on penalties against Brazil) and advanced to the final. There Nigeria again proved to be an insurmountable hurdle and El Tri lost 3-0.
