  • The Netherlands became the first team to retain the U17 or U16 title twice (in 2011 and 2012 they beat Germany in both finals; in 2018 and 2019 they beat Italy in both finals).
  • Brian Brobbey of the Netherlands becomes the third two-time U17 winner after compatriots Nathan Aké and Tonny Vilhena (both 2011 and 2012). Antonio Adán (Spain 2003 and 2004) and Abel Ruiz (Spain 2016 and 2017) have also appeared in two finals.
  • Naci Ünüvar of the Netherlands is the first 15-year-old to score in a U17 final.

  • Spain set a record ten U17 semi-final appearances (21 including U16s).
  • France's Adil Aouchiche set a new record of nine U17 finals goals (equalling the record for any UEFA football final tournament).
  • With their 6-1 quarter-final defeat of the Czech Republic, France equalled the record U17 knockout win, while Aouchiche's haul of four goals is the joint-highest tally in a U17 knockout tie.
