Mexico U-17

Selección Mexicana U-17

Mexico, World champion. The "Tricolores" lifted the Cup in Lima, Peru at the 2005 FIFA U-17 World Cup by defeating Brazil, defending champions and looking to attain their 4th U-17 World Cup. Mexico categorically beat the Amazonians 0-3 with goals scored by Carlos Vela (31'), Omar Esparza (33') and Ever Guzman (85') at the Estadio Nacional in the Peruvian capital.

Mexico has had a long football history throughout the years, but this is the first time the Aztecs obtains a FIFA World Cup title in any category (U-17, U-20, Men's). The best Mexico had ever performed was the quarter finals on both 1970 and 1986 FIFA World Cups held in Mexico. On both ocassions, Mexico clinched 6th place.

Years of glorious matches and defeats against bigger and better teams are now left behind. Mexico, the giant of CONCACAF, went from the "almost there!" team to the "we did it!" one. These 16 year-old kids became men the night of October 2nd, 2005.

Giovani Dos Santos was awarded the silver ball as 2nd best player of the tournament and Carlos Vela the golden boot as the top scorer of the competition.
