In the U17 World Cup final, Portugal defeated Austria 1-0 to claim the first U17 World Cup title in the team’s history.
This marks the second major trophy for Portugal U17 this year – back in June, they secured a 3-0 comprehensive victory over France in the U17 European Championship final to lift the Euro U17 title.
This year’s edition is the first since the U17 World Cup’s restructuring – changed from a biennial to an annual tournament, with the number of teams expanded to 48. Portugal finished the competition with a 7-1 record in 8 matches, suffering their only defeat to Japan U17 in the group stage.
