U17 World Cup: Inacio stars with three involvements in Italy win | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund has released five talents for the U17 World Cup currently taking place in Qatar. So far, things are going well for the quintet. Only Mussa Kaba had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Germany in the opening match against Colombia, while Mathis Albert with the USA (1-0 against Burkina Faso) was victorious, as was Miguel Adje with Switzerland (4-1 against Ivory Coast). On Thursday, the two BVB Italians, Samuele Inacio and Luca Reggiani, even secured their second victory.

After a 1-0 opening win against host Qatar, Italy followed up with a 4-0 victory against Bolivia, thus securing their place in the round of sixteen. As against Qatar, Inacio was once again the outstanding player, earning the Man of the Match award for the second time.

Contract with BVB until 2027

The BVB forward set up the lead for Simone Lontani in the 34th minute and scored himself just three minutes later to make it 2-0. In the 54th minute, Inacio recorded his second assist, which Destiny Elimoghale converted to make it 3-0. Inacio was not involved only in the 4-0 by Fabio Pandolfi deep into injury time.

Inacio, unlike his clubmate Reggiani, who again remained on the bench for the entire 90 minutes, is undoubtedly one of the outstanding players of the tournament so far and is likely already on the radar of several clubs. BVB is certainly closely monitoring the development of the youngster, who joined from Atalanta Bergamo in the summer of 2024, knowing that there is no urgent need for action due to a contract running until 2027.
