The French U17 team can get their ticket to the final of the Under-17 World Cup. The Bleuets are very close to a first coronation in the competition since 2001 and the epic of France by a certain Florent Sinama-Pongolle.
Before that, Jean-Luc Vannuchi’s men must make Mali, the third African team on the way to France since the start of the competition, after Burkina Faso in the group stage (3-0 victory) and Senegal in round of 16 (5-3 victory on penalties).
The French selection continues its flawless performance, having still not conceded a goal in 5 matches, but will face a very offensive team, with 14 goals scored since the start of the World Cup.

The Bleuets will therefore have a hard time facing the Aiglonnets, who are hungry for a first U17 world champion title in their history. Jean Luc-Vannuchi is fully aware of the challenge that awaits his family. “Mali had a lot of opportunities but it didn’t come down to much since Morocco was able to equalize in added time. We will have to be super solid,” he explained at a press conference.
On the other hand, there will be an enticing semi-final between Germany and Argentina led by Claudio Echeverri, the number 10 of the Albiceleste, author of 5 goals in the competition and who should be the subject of much covetousness.
The meeting between France and Mali will be broadcast in full on the L’Équipe channel, from 1 p.m.
