Mateus Mide, FC Porto star, named best player at U17 World Cup | OneFootball

Portugal was crowned U-17 football world champion and brought to Lisbon not only the team trophy but also individual recognition.

Attacking midfielder Mateus Mide, from FC Porto and the National Team, was singled out by FIFA observers as the best player of the tournament. Mauro Furtado, from Benfica, took home the Bronze Ball, being recognized as the third best.

He featured in all eight matches for the National Team, scored four goals – against Switzerland, Morocco (twice), and New Caledonia – and recorded two assists.

Romário Cunha, goalkeeper for Sp. Braga and the National Team, was also considered the best goalkeeper. To win the trophy, Portugal defeated their Austrian counterparts 1-0, with a goal from Anísio Cabral, in Doha, Qatar.
