2023 OFC U-17 Championship squads explained

The 2023 OFC U-17 Championship was an international football tournament held in Fiji from 11 to 28 January 2023 for under 17 players. The nine national teams involved in the tournament were required to register a squad of up to 26 players, including two goalkeepers. Only players in these squads are eligible to take part in the tournament. The two finalists of the tournament qualify for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of tournament.
