2019 FIFA U17 World Cup: Meet All The Teams by cheapgoals(m): 5:17pm On Oct 22, 2019 |
The 2019 edition of the FIFA U17 World Cup Kicks off in Brazil on October 26. The South American replaced original hosts Peru in March this year and has opted to bring this tournament to the inland cities of Goiania and Brasilia, as well as Cariacica on the outskirts of the coastal city of Vitoria, giving these areas a chance to host a global soccer tournament. This will be coming after FIFA organized two largely successful competitions earlier in the year including the FIFA Women’s World Cup in France and the FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland. The draw for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019 took place on Thursday 11 July at the home of FIFA in Zurich, where the 24 participating teams learned who their group rivals would be in their quest to become world champions. Fate decreed that Brazil and Canada would contest the opening game on Saturday 26 October at the Estadio Bezerrao in Gama. It will be Brazil’s first time of hosting the competition and also coming in a year when they hosted and won the Copa America. The competition format still remains the same with 24 teams in 6 groups and group winners, runners up and three best third-placed teams to qualify to the next stage. Nigeria are the most successful team in the competition with 5 trophies won in 1985, 1993, 2007, 2013, 2015 however, the Golden Eaglets failed to qualify for the last edition in India in 2017 which England won but they themselves would not be able to defend the trophy they won two years ago. On Wednesday, July 11th, FIFA conducted the draws for the tourney initially scheduled for Peru but later shifted to Brazil due to an inspection of the facilities and concern over organizational challenges. Three teams namely Angola, Senegal and Solomon’s Island will be making their debut at this level and we take a look at them and all other teams gunning for the title. GROUP A The tournament host finds themselves in an interesting foursome as they seek to deal with the pressure of playing at home and a disappointing showing at this year’s South American U-17 Championship. Opponents Canada arrive as CONCACAF semi-finalists with an exciting group of young players, while New Zealand are the reigning Oceania champions. Angola, for their part, are the only African side making their debut this year after their best-ever performance at the Africa U-17 Cup of Nations. BRAZIL Nickname: Selecao Appearance: 17 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: Winners (x3, 1997, 1999, 2003) Coach: Carlos Amadeu CANADA Nickname: The Canucks Appearance: 7 Debut: 1987 Last Appearance: 2013 Best Performance: Group Stages Coach: Andrew Olivieri NEW ZEALAND Nickname: The Young All Whites Appearance: 9 Debut: 1997 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: R16 Coach: Jose Figueira ANGOLA Nickname: Palanquinhas Appearance: 1 Debut: 2019 Last Appearance: – Best Performance: Debut Coach: Pedro Goncalves GROUP B Nigeria, the most successful team in the tournament’s history, did not have their best qualifying campaign and are matched against a determined and resilient Hungary side returning to the competition after a 34-year absence. Also, the group host are Ecuador, who played some fine attacking football during their regional qualifiers, and Australia, who recovered from a poor start in Asian qualifying to reach the semi-finals and claim a spot in Brazil NIGERIA Nickname: Golden Eaglets Appearance: 12 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2015 Best Performance: Winners (x5) Coach: Manu Garba HUNGARY Nickname: The Magyars Appearance: 2 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 1985 Best Performance: Quarter-Finals Coach: Sandor Preisinger ECUADOR Nickname: La Tricolor Appearance: 4 Debut: 1987 Last Appearance: 2015 Best Performance: Quarterfinal Coach: Javier Rodriguez AUSTRALIA Nickname: Joeys Appearance: 13 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2015 Best Performance: Runners-up (1999) Coach: Trevor Morgan GROUP C The Korea Republic, who are two-time Asian champions will kick start their campaign against underdog Haiti, who performed admirably during CONCACAF qualifying to reach only their second U-17 World Cup. With a very promising generation of players to choose from, France looks like a potent rival for anyone, while Chile showed their mettle in the South American Championship, where only goal difference denied them top spot. KOREA REPUBLIC Nickname: The Reds Appearance: 6 Debut: 1987 Last Appearance: 2015 Best Performance: Quarterfinals Coach: Kim jung Soo HAITI Nickname: Le Bicolors Appearance: 2 Debut: 2007 Last Appearance: 2007 Best Performance: Group Stage Coach: Rafael Novaes Dias FRANCE Nickname: Le Bleuets Appearance: 4th Debut: 1987 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: Winners (x1 2001) Coach: Patrick Gonfalone CHILE Nickname: La Rojitta Appearance: 4th Debut: 1993 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: 3rd place (1993) Coach: Hernan Caputto GROUP D This group could be tagged the toughest of all. CONCACAF runners-up USA face a formidable rival in two-time defending European champions the Netherlands. Also in the mix are Asian holders Japan as well as a strong debutant Senegal side who can’t be brushed aside. USA Nickname: Baby Nats Appearance: 16 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: 4th place (1999) Coach: Raphael Wicky SENEGAL Nickname: Terranga Cubs Appearance: – Debut: 2019 Last Appearance: – Best Performance: Coach: Malick Daf JAPAN Nickname: Samurai Blues Appearance: 9 Debut: 1993 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: Quarter final Coach: Yoshiro Moriyama NETHERLANDS Nickname: Oranje Appearance: 3 Debut: 2005 Last Appearance: 2011 Best Performance: 3rd place (2005) Coach: Kees Van Wonderen GROUP E The La Rojita are another brilliant side with a good history of the competition, they are renowned for the quality of their youth players and start off against South American champions Argentina in a match that could shape the outcome of the group. With them come Cameroon, who were miserly in defence in winning the African title, and a dangerous Tajikistan side who pulled strings of surprise in their qualifying series. SPAIN Nickname: La Rojita Appearance: 11 Debut: 1991 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: Runners-up x4 (1991, 2003, 2007, 2017) Coach: David Gordo ARGENTINA Nickname: Albiceleste Appearance: 13 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2015 Best Performance: 3rd place (X3 1991, 1995, 2003) Coach: Ezequiel Baez TAJIKISTAN Nickname: Persian Lions Appearance: 2 Debut: 2007 Last Appearance: 2007 Best Performance: R16 Coach: Zaynidin Rakhimov CAMEROON Nickname: The Indomitable Cubs Appearance: 2 Debut: 2005 Last Appearance: 2005 Best Performance: Group Stage Coach: Thomas Libiih GROUP F The Young Azzurri’s have an exciting generation of young players, and they will need the very best when they go up against a tough Mexican side with a proud record in this competition. Paraguay, who always come hard and physically read to bully anyone, will also fancy their chances of progressing to the next stage of the competition, while debutant Solomon Islands will be hoping to replay the free-flowing football that captivated Oceania fans and earned them a maiden U-17 World Cup appearance. SOLOMON ISLANDS Nickname: The Katukatus Appearance: Debut Debut: 2019 Last Appearance: – Best Performance: – Coach: Stanley Waitas ITALY Nickname: Young Azzuris Appearance: 7 Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2013 Best Performance: 4th Place (1987) Coach: Carmine Nunziata PARAGUAY Nickname: Los Guaraníes La Albirroja Appearance: 4 Debut: 1999 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: Quarterfinals Coach: Gerardo Gonzalez Aquino MEXICO Nickname: El Tri Appearance: 14th Debut: 1985 Last Appearance: 2017 Best Performance: Winners (x2 2005, 2011) Coach: Mario Arteaga Source: https://cheapgoals.com/2019-fifa-u17-world-cup-meet-all-the-teams/ 4 Likes 1 Share |

Best team nickname on here "Katukatu"... sounds like "Kabukabu" Wonder what that means. Regardless, they should just win the World Cup for best nickname already. The other nicknames are pretty self-explanatory. Shootouts to the Paraguayans though. @Los Guaranis. Those guys have always been proud of their origins. Cheapgoals, kudos man. Keep getting us warmed up for those games. I'm a Katukatu fan right away. 6 Likes |
