December 4 – Germany have won the U-17 World Cup for the first time, and defeating France for the second time in a major final this year after penalties.
Same as in the U17 European Championship final, there was nothing to separate Germany and France in regular time as the French clawed their way back from 2-0 down with goals from Saimon Bouabre and Mathis Amougou. But in a nail-biting penalty shootout, the Germans prevailed with a heroic role for their goalkeeper Konstantin Heide.
