The 3rd quarter-final match at the 2026 AFC U17 Championship is the confrontation between U17 Uzbekistan and U17 South Korea, taking place at 11:00 PM on May 16.
The Central Asian team entered the knockout round with the top spot in Group D, making a mark thanks to their physical, fast and fast-moving game.
Meanwhile, U17 Korea passed the group stage in second place in Group C, highly appreciated for their experience as well as the quality of youth training.
Meanwhile, the highlight match taking place at 00:00 on May 17 is the clash between U17 Vietnam and U17 Australia.
Coach Cristiano Roland's team finished the group stage at the top of Group C after victories against U17 Yemen and U17 UAE. This is also the first time Vietnamese football has qualified for the U17 World Cup.
Although being underestimated in terms of physique and fitness, U17 Vietnam still has a basis for confidence. At the previous U17 Southeast Asian tournament, Mr. Roland's team defeated U17 Australia in the semi-finals. The representative of the kangaroos possesses many players playing in Europe, but their defense also revealed no small gaps in the group stage.
