The semi-finals of the U17 World Cup are fast approaching and a particularly exciting confrontation looms between the France and Mali teams. Both teams performed superbly throughout the tournament, which promises a colorful duel.
The young blues showed great defensive solidity throughout the competition. They managed to contain the attacks of their opponents and kept clean sheets. However, faced with Malian offensive power, their defense will be put to the test. Mali’s players have indeed impressed with their efficiency in front of goal, scoring no less than 14 goals in five matches. Mamadou Doumbia proved to be a real asset for the Malian team, scoring a hat-trick in the first match of the group stage. The Blues will therefore have to be vigilant and keep an eye on Doumbia to hope to contain the Malian attack.
If France has international experience and has already won the U17 World Cup in 2001, Mali could spring a surprise and reach the final for the second time in its history. A victory against France could allow them to win their first world title and join Nigeria and Ghana as African world champion nations in this category.
The stakes are therefore high for both teams and the excitement is at its peak. Who will emerge victorious from this duel and secure their place in the final? Response on November 28. In the meantime, football fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this confrontation between France and Mali, which promises to be spectacular and full of twists and turns.
Stay tuned to not miss any news from the U17 World Cup and find out who will win the precious ticket to the final of the competition.
