Match Preview
Colombia achieved its place in this edition of the U17 World Cup by finishing third in the South American U17 Championship. Los Cafeteros participated in the Torneo 4 Naciones in Mexico City after the South American Championship and finished undefeated in the competition with one win and two draws.
All of the roster plays domestically in Colombia but some players can use this tournament to get exposure and move on to Europe or other South American teams. The highest Colombia has ever finished in a U17 World Cup is fourth but maybe the South American team can top that in this competition.
Ghana has been historically successful in this competition with two U17 World Cup titles to its name. The African side had a stint from 2009-2015 of not qualifying for the tournament but will now be making its ninth appearance in the competition. The Black Stars have a track record of producing quality young talent but will be in a tough group with Colombia, India and the United States.
