Mexico U-17 Vs Germany U-17 Preview: Duel Two Champion Teams
JAKARTA - Mexico and Germany both came with the status of CONCACAF and Europe champions as they prepared to clash in the phase stage of Indonesia's 2023 U-17 World Cup group.
The match between the two teams for the Group F stage will take place at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung, West Java, Sunday, November 12, 2023 at 19.00 WIB.
Mexico came to Indonesia with the title as champions of CONCACAF U-17 2023. They come with sufficient statistics to make their potential opponents afraid.
On the way to win the title at CONCACAF U-17 2023, Mexico was able to score 29 goals and conceded only twice from seven games played.
That's definitely a pretty good capital for Mexico in an effort to pursue a third title at the 2023 U-17 World Cup, which is their 15th appearance in tournament history.
On 14 occasions to participate before this, the team nicknamed El Tri successfully lifted their respective trophies in 2005 and 2011 when they hosted.
The achievement in 2011 made Mexico the first host country to lift the title. Mexico also managed to reach the final on the next two occasions in 2013 and 2019.
On the other hand, Germany confirmed their place in the 2023 U-17 World Cup after the 2023 U-17 European Cup campaign which was full of wins in May and June.
In that event they won three group stage matches against Portugal, France, and Scotland.
They then passed Switzerland on penalties in the quarter-finals.
