国际足联首届U-15男子世界杯定于2026年10月在阿塞拜疆举办，规模庞大，包括近1000场比赛、189支球队参赛，采用8人制、20分钟半场制1。然而这项赛事引发了重大争议，包括德国在内的多个国家选择不予参加。
德国足协主动退出本届赛事，理由是认为这个年龄段的球员不适合参加如此高规格的国际比赛1。德国足协声明称"在这个年龄阶段，我们的球员识别和发展过程仍在进行中"1，并指出年轻球员"不应该过早暴露于职业足球的伴随方面，包括增加的期望和压力、公开评估和经纪人早期关注"1。这一立场与德国职业联赛的年龄限制相呼应，德甲规定球员必须16岁才能进行职业比赛1。
俄罗斯青年足球队获准参加本届赛事，这是俄罗斯自2022年乌克兰战争后首次获准参加国际足联赛事1。这一决定遭到广泛反对，共有22个国家拒绝参加本届比赛，其中18个来自欧洲足联1。乌克兰足协表示其他国家表示"不想与俄罗斯比赛"1。国际足联主席因芬蒂诺于2月表示"必须考虑解除俄罗斯禁令"，之后俄罗斯在8个月内获得了参赛资格1。
国际足联全球足球发展主管阿尔塞纳·温格为这项赛事进行了辩护，表示"这项赛事让来自世界各地的球员有机会竞争、学习和成长"1。
FIFA's inaugural Under-15 men's world championship will proceed in Azerbaijan in October 2026 with nearly 1,000 matches involving 189 teams, though the tournament has already become a flashpoint of controversy.1 Germany's football association has announced it will not participate, citing developmental concerns for players at such a young age.1 The German Football Association stated: "We consciously decided not to participate," explaining that "at this age stage, our players' identification and development process is still ongoing."1 The federation further argued that young players "should not be exposed prematurely to the accompanying aspects of professional football, including increased expectations and pressure, public evaluation and early agent attention."1
The tournament's inclusion of Russia has prompted widespread boycotts, with 22 countries declining their invitations, including 18 from European football's governing body UEFA.1 The Ukrainian Football Association indicated that other nations expressed unwillingness to compete against Russia, marking the country's return to international FIFA competition following its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.1 FIFA President Gianni Infantino signaled in February that "the ban on Russia must be considered for lifting," and eight months later the country was cleared to participate.1 Meanwhile, FIFA's global football development director Arsène Wenger defended the initiative, stating that "this tournament gives players from around the world the opportunity to compete, learn and grow."1 The competition will employ an eight-a-side format with 20-minute halves, differing from standard football configurations.1
