text: # 2023 OFC U-17 Championship squads
  
  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 age listed for each player is on 11 January 2023, the first day of the tournament. The numbers of caps and goals listed for each player do not include any matches played after the start of tournament. The nationality for each club reflects the national association (not the league) to which the club is affiliated. A flag is included for coaches that are of a different nationality than their own national team. The preliminary squads were announced by Oceania Football Confederation on 9 January 2023.
