In a tournament of many firsts, it was befitting that the two best technically sound teams met at the finale — first ever all European final.
The world’s most talented young players gave India a memorable show of high quality football on the field while the country showcased its organisational skills in near flawless and record-breaking tournament across six cities, which culminated with England clinching the title.
Packed with players from the academies of top English Premier League clubs, England grabbed their maiden title in their fourth appearance after beating Spain 5-2 in the highest scoring and perhaps the best summit clash of all the FIFA U-17 World Cups till today.
