THE ARGENTINE UNDER-17 TEAM will begin a new dream at the Qatar 2025 World Cup, where they will try to continue the mystique of a place that brought great joy to Argentine football with the recent victory of the senior team led by Lionel Scaloni at the 2022 World Cup.
The Albiceleste, coached by Diego Placente, is in Group D along with Belgium, Tunisia, and Fiji. They will debut this Monday, November 3, against the European team, starting at 11:45 AM (Argentine time). They will then play against Tunisia on Thursday, the 6th at 10:30, and will close the group stage on Sunday, the 9th against Fiji, starting at 9:30.
Argentina will arrive with the momentum of winning the Alcudia Tournament and will go in search of a trophy that is still missing from the Argentine Football Association's showcase.
Among the 21 players chosen by Placente, most are from local football clubs and there are some from European clubs, such as the German-born Argentine Can Armando Güner, from Borussia Mönchengladbach.
All matches will be played at the Aspire Zone complex in Al Rayyan, near Doha, and the grand final will be held at the Khalifa International Stadium.
