Doha, Qatar: Only 30 days remain for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Qatar 2025. Taking place from November 3-27, the tournament will bring together 48 young teams from across the globe to compete for the coveted trophy.

Hosts Qatar have been drawn into Group A, alongside Italy, South Africa and Bolivia. The young Maroons will kick off their campaign against Italy on November 3, 6:45pm. The team will look to improve on Qatar‘s highest achievement in the competition, when they finished in fourth place in 1991.

For Qatar’s U-17 national team player, Zaid Faisal, the tournament is an important milestone for young players. “It’s a matter of pride to play for your country in the World Cup. This is a wonderful opportunity for us as future generations to showcase our talents, and the opportunity to play with international teams from all over the world will provide invaluable experience. I hope we make Qatar proud.”
