The '''1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship''', the third edition of the [[FIFA U-17 World Cup|tournament]], was held in the Scottish cities of [[Glasgow]], [[Edinburgh]], [[Motherwell, North Lanarkshire|Motherwell]], [[Aberdeen]], and [[Dundee]] between 10 and 24 June 1989. Players born after 1 August 1972 could participate in this tournament. [[Saudi Arabia national under-17 football team|Saudi Arabia]] won the tournament and became the first Asian team to win a FIFA tournament. As of December 2024, they are the only Asian men's team to win any FIFA tournament.

The winning team was later accused of fielding several over-age players, but no formal investigation was conducted.<ref>{{cite news |date=20 June 2009 |title=Freeze frame: FIFA under-16 World Cup Final, 24 June 1989 Scotland 2 Saudi Arabia 2 (after extra time): Saudi Arabia won 5-4 on penalties |url=https://www.scotsman.com/sport/freeze-frame-fifa-under-16-world-cup-final-24-june-1989-scotland-2-saudi-arabia-2-after-extra-time-saudi-arabia-won-5-4-on-penalties-1-1353761 |work=[[The Scotsman]] |access-date=18 December 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/47903212|title =How Scotland almost won a World Cup at Hampden in 1989|date=24 June 2020|work=BBC Sport|access-date=13 August 2020}}</ref>
