One potential venue ([[Warri]]) was removed after recent violence flared up in the [[Niger Delta]].

== Threats to the tournament ==

The 2009 edition was under increasing threats from the armed rebel group, The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and warned FIFA against hosting the tournament in Nigeria.<ref>[http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/146055/nigerian-rebels-threaten-fifa-junior-world-cup Nigerian rebels threaten FIFA junior World Cup]</ref> However, the militants were offered [[amnesty]] in exchange for laying down their weapons, and the tournament went on smoothly without any incidents.

== Teams ==
The final draw for group stage was held on 7 August 2009 at the International Conference Centre in [[Abuja]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090810170403/http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/news/newsid=1087856.html#draw+looms Draw looms for 24]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090811112039/http://www.fifa.com/u17worldcup/news/newsid=1088041.html#nigeria+face+germany+opener Nigeria face Germany in opener]</ref>

|class_rules=The 4 best 3rd place teams qualify for the knockout stage. The first determining factor is points, the second is goal difference, and the third is the number of goals scored. If teams are still level, then Fair-Play ranking is used as the fourth criterion. This ranking is as follows: −1 for yellow card, −3 for a red card (straight or 2 yellows in the same game), −4 in case of a yellow card followed by a straight red card in the same game. If the teams are still level at this point, a drawing of lots determine the qualified team(s).
