French goalkeeper U-17, Paul Argney, became the hero of victory in the penalty shootout drama against Senegal U-17 (doc. FIFA).

JAKARTA France U-17 qualified for the quarter-finals of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. They became the last team to get tickets following the previous seven teams.

The male chicken made sure to qualify after winning 5-3 over Senegal U-17 on penalties at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), North Jakarta, Wednesday, November 22, 2023 evening WIB.
