This is interesting, the  U17 world cup event can be used for players to show their abilities and captivate scouts around the world. For countries other than Indonesia I feel sure, they have many players who are regularly trained in the club let's call it Lamine zamal from Barcelona to defend Spain and of course other countries. Indonesia is also not behind. Indonesia has data on 30 players of descent and 10 people must have Indonesian passports. One of the most talked about is Welberlieskott de Halim Jardim, he's a Sao Paulo player and Gabriel Han Willhoft-King who plays at Tottenham Hotspurs' Under 18 years.

Nigeria has also done very well in this tournament winning the trophy 5 times ahead of Brazil who have won it 4 times. Nigeria has also produced very good players who later got into u-20 team and senior team super eagles. But unfortunately, Nigeria will not be featuring in this years Asian tournament hosted by Indonesia in November/December after they lost to Burkina Faso at the last group stage.

Having a World Cup title for the junior national team can have a very good impact on players because they will get used to playing in prestigious events to train their mentality and also how to play against teams from other countries that are strong enough.
FIFA has worked well so far for the development of world football so let's support all football events that are held.

In this U17 World Cup, I'm not too sure that teams from Asia can reach the top because they are still below the Europa and Conmebol teams.
Brazil still has a big chance of becoming the defending champion because they always have very good junior players and so far Brazil has produced quite a lot of great and quality players.

Yes, in terms of posture, there is definitely a shortage of Indonesian players and most teams are from Asia. but if Indonesian players have the speed to make up for deficiencies in body posture, maybe the Indonesian national team at this age can compete with their favorite team.
Is there a possibility that the Indonesian National Team will summon several players of descent who play in Europe or other regions to strengthen the team at the age of 17? because lately, it seems that there are several players of Indonesian descent who are trusted in competitions of more senior age.

Hoping that Indonesia can win an international tournament is a very utopian thought, I favor Indonesia because I'm part of them, of course, if not us, who else will be their favourite? can't be people from other countries, right? FYI, Nigeria didn't succeed in qualifying for the u-17 world cup this time, even though they're the team that has won the most u-17 world titles (5 times).


Thanks for the correction, mate. You're right

I think the selection of Indonesia as the host is not only due to the cancelation of the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia and now at U-17 instead. FIFA sees that Indonesia has a ready stadium that can be used. and I think it just needs some fixing and re-checking of FIFA for its readiness.
from a stadium point of view, I'm sure there won't be any problems. the most important thing is that there is no political chaos in Indonesia that could disrupt the implementation from a security perspective. the fight will begin closer to the democratic party in Indonesia.
This is a big event, I hope that all people and the government can unite to launch and succeed in the Indonesian U-17 World Cup.

The drawing of the group division is still carried out around November-December which is a long time. In addition, Indonesia has also not announced the stadium that will be used for the group stage until the final. But if you look at the U20 World Cup preparations that were canceled, there are six stadium names chosen.
1. Jakabaring Stadium (Palembang)
2. Gelora Karno Main Stadium (Jakarta)
3. Si Jalak Harupat Stadium (Bandung)
4. Manahan Stadium (Solo)
5. Gelora Tomo Stadium (Surabaya)
6. Captain I Wayan Dipta Stadium (Gianyar, Bali)
Maybe this could be Indonesia's choice because they have been preparing it for the U20 World Cup which was canceled.

Should not be too difficult for them to get past the group phase. This is a U-17 tournament and almost all of the players will be competing outside their home country for the first time. And home advantage can make a big difference. On top of that, European and American teams are going to struggle, to get adjusted to the hot and humid conditions in Indonesia. But in order to make a better prediction we need to know more about their opponents. That is not possible now, because at this point we don't know which are the other teams in Group A.

Don't expect too much because if they lost you don't lose too much money. I know how the Indonesian team plays and how they nurture young players educated, it's not like another country where spend a lot of money to talent the young player. In Indonesia, they did it half measures like budget, facility, and player needs, Because of that we can see they lost every game, It's just luck if we can see Indonesia Football Team can bring the champions like Sea Games some time ago. I'm more to be realistic now, If they can pass just the group stage is a great achievement, and can bring a new spirit to rise the young player in the future.

This is special, I hope Indonesia will no longer be canceled in holding big events. I hope no political interest is created to derail a major FIFA event. Of course my hope is that Indonesia can reach the knockout phase. I was a little hesitant, because Indonesia's posture tends to be small and loses in physical battles. I saw it happen when the Indonesian U-20 players were preparing against a country like France. But I hope with four months they can minimize that gap with a one-two touch game. Just like Barcelona.

I don't see the development of football in Indonesia so far for the national team, moreover I haven't really seen the team that will be prepared from Indonesia for this match, of course they are young players and haven't seen the quality of the playing style as well as others, but if this event is held in sports betting site looks interesting to bet looking for experience in youth sports betting.

After failing to host the U20s, at least Indonesia can get the chance for the U17 world cup, can't wait to see Indonesia's readiness to host later, even though I don't see great players there that I know, but here I support young players to develop and become the best players they can be. will be pulled into the national team in the future. 

Indonesia is ready for facilities and stadiums. Remember Indonesia was once beaten for the U20 world cup, but it was canceled. Later it was replaced by Argentina. So I think there will be no big problem obstacles, even Indonesia has successfully invited Argentina, and so far there have been no complaints from them. I think four months is enough time to perfect the pitch and support facilities. In the U20 world cup, Indonesia has prepared and verified by FIFA. So this will only continue for the U17 World Cup.

There were many unexpected events during the appointment to host the U20 world cup which ultimately made Indonesia fail to host, of course this was enough to make the Indonesian national team players very disappointed even though they had prepared everything before that day arrived. However, with Argentina being chosen as the new host for the U20 world cup, Indonesia will certainly get the advantage, one of which is being able to hold a friendly match against the 2022 world cup champions.

Apart from all that, now Indonesia has been re-elected as the host for the U17 world cup which makes Indonesia have full responsibility for the event this time. The enthusiasm of the Indonesian public is indeed extraordinary for football, especially this is an international competition involving various countries around the world. For stadiums in Indonesia, some of them have met FIFA standards and for sure it will be a suitable stadium for participants later.

Maybe there was a problem with the main stadium which is likely to be the venue for the U17 world cup final later, namely the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, which had previously been booked for concerts by foreign bands and maybe this would cause friction between the organizers and the football associations in Indonesia to determine who has the right to use the stadium. Considering that this is an international competition, Indonesia certainly wants the stadium to be the final of the U17 World Cup final.

More than 4 months to go, but I can see that a lot of interest is there. And the schedule is not yet out (it will be known only by August). One thing that I liked about this tournament is that they have given equal importance to all the confederations. There are 5 participants from AFC(including the hosts), 4 each from CAF, CONCACAF, CONMEBOL and 2 from OFC. UEFA is restricted to 5 teams. A lot of people are going to complain that UEFA is under-represented, but I am quite OK with the current setup. They can't increase the number of participants anymore (this is a U-17 tournament) and need to give enough representation to all the confederations.

Indonesia was reportedly very well prepared when they were appointed as the host for the U-20 World Cup agenda. but failed due to some problem. FIFA saw how enthusiastic the Indonesian people were who were crazy about football. FIFA had expressed its disappointment at canceling the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia because it saw how enthusiastic Indonesian supporters were during the friendly match with Argentina.

now with the FIFA U-17 World Cup agenda which will be held in Indonesia. they have high hopes for the success of this agenda. FIFA assesses that Indonesia has a proper and magnificent stadium for the implementation of this agenda. let's see how the preparation of the host Indonesia, not only in their facilities. but also from the readiness of their team to face strong European teams.

Junior tournaments are different from senior tournaments so for Indonesia to make surprises is very possible even though they don't become champions but at least they can go far enough to achieve good achievements not only playing in this tournament without results, but I don't really understand also about the strength map of the Indonesian national team at the age of 17, how they are trained and also the preparation.
Actually, it is quite surprising that FIFA appointed Indonesia as the host, hopefully, the organizers can prepare everything well so that the implementation is successful and can raise the name of Indonesia so that when running for other tournaments it can be calculated properly.

Even this tournamnet is for the junior team, I should be confirmed those countries who have great football traditions like English, France, Germany, Spain, Brazil, and Argentina will be favorites for the champion. because we know, they already exist in all things, they are good at nurturing young players, and their football schools are references from other countries. So, I think, this is just like the early world cup where each talented player meets in a tournament, and we are not surprised if we can see several football agents will take a seat on supporter stands to look for a future talented player.

My favorite is Indonesia, but I can't force it, because I know how they play, So I think Brazil will be the champion again, and meet Argentina in the Final.

First, congrats for my country Indonesian success become host for FIFA U17 World Cup 2023 and give us little happiness after FIFA removing our participants as host for FIFA U20 World Cup 2023 before changing Argentina as the host. Actually little difficult for predicting which one national teams are favorite with junior level competition, as Indonesian not get impressive performance last edition with U17 squad and we don't have junior competition right now.

Its difficult for Indonesian teams can talk more in FIFA U17 because other teams participants they have competition for junior level and make their head coach easy build teams. However, I have big expectation with FIFA U17, Indonesian teams can qualify from group phase because seems realistic target.

This is junior tournament and i am sure most of us will not so familiar with all of the players in this tournament and if we see from champion lists i can see Nigeria as the most champion in this tournament with 5 times and following them there was Brazil with 4 title but if we see from list of participants apparently Nigeria will not playing so automatically Brazil is the favourite moreover they are defending champion and for second favourite i personally more likely to choose England

I am sure the talent scouts from European teams will be watching this tournament so this is good for young players because those who can able to performing well probably will be into big teams radar and not impossible they will be signed by big teams and previously some of big names has started to play through an this tournament such as Toni Kroos, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Victor Osimhen, Aurelien Tchouameni and many more and now they are became an famous players

Of course I hope Indonesia can make a surprise even though Indonesia qualified because of Host status. I hope they are able to qualify from the group stage even more than that. At a young age Indonesia has many talented players, they also seem to have the Garuda Select program, although not all are under the age of 17. There are still about 4 months more, I read a lot if they are assisted by senior and U-23 coaches Shin Tae Yong and Indra Sjafri to find young talents in the area to attend long-term training. Another news I heard Thailand failed to qualify for the U17 world cup because they lost 1-4 to South Korea. The other three representatives from Asia are Iran, Uzbekistan, Japan
