Under-17

An African nation may yet to have won the World Cup, as Pele famously predicted, but there have been no such shortcomings at U-17 level.

Nigeria are the current world champions after a 3-0 penalty win over Spain in the final of the 2007 Fifa U-17 World Cup, held in South Korea.

The victory gave the Golden Eaglets their third U-17 world title, having won the tournament in 1985 and 1993.

Ghana are double world champions, having triumphed in 1991 and 1995.
