Semi-final Match-ups:
Argentina vs. Germany: A classic encounter and a rematch of the 2015 U-17 World Cup meeting where Germany emerged victorious with a 4-0 win. This time, they meet in the knockout stage, with the winner advancing to the final.
France vs. Mali: France, the only remaining team that has previously won the U-17 World Cup (in 2001), will face Mali, a team with an impressive goal-scoring record (14 goals in the tournament). It's a clash between a strong defense and a prolific attacking side.
Historical Significance:
The Argentina vs. Germany fixture is noted as the most commonly played FIFA World Cup final, having occurred three times. Argentina won in 1986, West Germany secured revenge in 1990, and Germany won again in 2014. This semi-final clash adds another chapter to their footballing rivalry.
France, the 2001 U-17 World Cup champions, will be aiming to add another title to their collection. They possess the tournament's best defense, yet to concede a goal in Indonesia.
This will be the first meeting between France and Mali at the U-17 World Cup, adding an element of unpredictability to the encounter.
Argentina and Germany have only met four times at the U-17 World Cup, with their encounters spanning from 1985 to 2015. The series is tied at one win each and one draw.
Mali has been a goal-scoring force in the tournament, having scored the highest number of goals (14). Their attacking prowess will be tested against the solid defense of France.
The stage is set for an exciting culmination of the tournament, with the winners of these semi-final matches progressing to the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023™. Football fans can expect thrilling and closely contested matches as these talented young teams vie for the prestigious title.
