The France U17 national team match against the Uzbekistan U17 in Quarter-Finals of the FIFA U17 World Cup on Saturday, November 25, 2023 will be held at the Stadion Manahan Stadium, Surakarta.
The French U17s, as European runners-up, have shown their strength in the previous match. Although they had to fight hard to beat U17 Senegal in the round of 16, they did so thanks to a penalty. The fact that they have practiced penalties, as seen in their defeat to Germany in the 2023 European U17 final, may be a deciding factor in the upcoming match.
On the other hand, U17 Uzbekistan has created a surprise by beating favorites to win, U17 England, in the round of 16. They managed to take the lead from the start of the match and, despite being equalized by their opponents, they managed to take the lead again and maintained their lead until the end of the match.
However, despite their impressive victory, the Uzbekistan U17s are still considered to be below the French U17s. They may have used all their strategies against England, but France will definitely prepare well for this match.
One other interesting fact is that the French U17s are the only team that has not conceded a goal in this tournament. However, given that they are now in the quarter-finals, this may change. Uzbekistan’s U17s have scored at least two goals in the last three games and have scored against England and Spain, the top two teams in Europe like France. If France were to concede, this match might have more than three goals.
France U17 is also one of the favorite teams in this tournament, having a squad containing young talent from big clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon and Monaco. They also have experience playing at international level, winning the 2022 UEFA U17 Championship and winning a bronze medal at the 2019 U17 World Cup.
Meanwhile, Uzbekistan U17 is a team that should not be underestimated, showing high fighting spirit in a quite difficult group. They managed to draw against Spain U17, who are the defending champions of this tournament, and beat Canada U17 with a landslide score. They also have players who have good technique and creativity, such as Mirzaev, Saidov and Shukurullaev.
Ahead of the duel in the quarter-finals, France U17 is reportedly threatened with immediate disqualification for violating the 2023 U17 World Cup rules. According to Sport News Africa, sources say the Burkina Faso football federation has submitted a complaint to the world football federation (FIFA) and asked for a thorough examination to be carried out quickly. produce results.
The problem lies with the number 7 France U17 player, Yanis Issoufou. This young talent born in 2006 played all three group stage matches for the France U17 team and played quite well. However, Burkina Faso learned that Yanis Issoufou is playing for Niger U17 in the 2023 U17 World Cup qualifiers!
According to FIFA regulations, a player is not allowed to play for two national teams in the same tournament. If violated, the team using this player will be eliminated from the tournament! Because, the possibility of France U17 being eliminated from the 2023 U17 World Cup finals is very large.
