JAKARTA Germany U-17 and France U-17 confirmed the move to the top of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. Two other teams, Argentina U-17 and Mali U-17 who died in the semifinals will compete for third place.

The two matches will be the final phase of the 2023 U-17 World Cup. Both will be played at Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java.

The final will be held on Saturday, December 2, 2023, at 19.00 WIB. The day before, December 1, 2023, the match for third place will also be held at 19.00 WIB.

The four teams that have traveled to the last phase are the best countries. Their journey was not easy, even dramatic.

Germany U-17 got a final ticket after stopping Argentina U-17. The two teams chased each other after goals until they finally drew 3-3 at normal times.

Der Panzer was then able to finish well in the shootout round with a score of 4-2.

For Germany U-17, this is their second final in the history of the U-17 World Cup. Another final they have won is the first edition in 1985 in China.

Germany U-17, which at that time was still represented by West Germany, lost in the final match against Nigeria U-17. After that, Der Panzer's best achievement was only a semifinalist, yes, in the 2007 edition in South Korea.

Therefore, this moment is their second chance to get their title or first chance as representatives of Germany.

If champions then Germany will be the fifth European country to lift the U-17 World Cup trophy after Switzerland, France, Russia and England.

Meanwhile, France U-17 reached the final round after making a comeback against Mali U-17. Jean-Luc Vannuchi's men fell behind in the first half before rising and scoring two goals in the second half.

The achievement to the top party this time is the second final at the U-17 World Cup. France U-17 had reached a similar round in 2001 when it was held in Tokyo and Tobago which led to the title.

The 2019 edition was their best achievement after becoming champions. At that time they were stuck in the semifinals and then took third place after stopping the Dutch U-17.

Meanwhile, don't rule out third-ranked contest parties between Argentina U-17 vs Mali U-17.

The second match was also interesting. They put up a great fight before finally being eliminated in the semifinals of the 2023 U-17 World Cup.

Argentina U-17's best achievement in 14 previous participations in the U-17 World Cup was third. They achieved it in 1991 (Italy), 1995 (Ecuador), and 2003 (Finland) editions. Of course, the Tango Team is now hoping to repeat the success again.

Then, Mali U-17 is not a team that can be underestimated. Although far from Argentina U-17 about the amount of participation, their achievements in the history of the U-17 World Cup were better than the Tango Team.

Mali U-17 has only participated five times before. However, they have perched as runners-up in the 2015 edition of Chile. They were defeated by fellow African confederation teams, Nigeria U-17, in the final.
