The U17 World Cup is approaching almost two months before Indonesia hosts the 24 youth teams aiming to be crowned world kings at the youth level. This Friday the draw took place to determine the six groups of this tournament.
At the draw, the United States team learned its fate for this World Cup, where it will attempt to make history as one of the world’s great youth teams.
The Gonzalo Segares-led team has been placed in Group E where they will face France, Burkina Faso and South Korea in the tournament that begins on November 10 in Indonesia.
On paper, France represents the biggest threat to the United States, so South Korea will certainly be the rival with which they will aim for second place and avoid falling to third, hoping for luck to emerge as one of the best third places to qualify.
When will the USYNT play in the U17 World Cup?
The United States’ U17 World Cup debut will take place on November 12th when they face South Korea, a match of utmost importance in setting the stage for the next phase.
Later, the Gonzalo Segarse-led teams will face Burkina Faso on November 15th and conclude their participation on November 18th against France, a game for which both teams can already qualify.
