The 2006 AFC U-17 Championship was the 12th competition of the AFC U-17 Championship organized by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), which was held between 3 and 17 September 2006 in Singapore. Japan won their second title with a 4–2 win against Korea DPR in the final.

Qualification Competition

Laos won Group I of the qualifying round and was placed in Group C of the finals, but was disqualified after an investigation by the Asian Football Confederation's disciplinary committee found that the team fielded an over-aged player in the AFC U-13 football tournament in Laos in April 2005. Australia, which finished behind Laos in the qualification, did not take the slot, hence no replacement was made for Laos. Therefore, only fifteen teams competed in the final tournament.
