The Argentina Under-17 team returned to work on Monday with a view to the World Cup of the category to be held from November 10 to December 2 in Indonesia. Diego Placente cited 24 players and draws attention to the absence of Claudio Echeverri, the youth who shone in the South American of Ecuador and already adds minutes in the first of River.
There are, however, seven other players from Núñez's club who were summoned by the coach. It is the largest supplier of players for this citation that is far from definitive. The idea is to work with as many guys as possible to build a firm foundation considering there are four months of work ahead.
There are also five youth from the lower divisions of Lanús, three from Boca Juniors and two from Rosario Central and Vélez Sarsfield.
Those summoned are Froilán Díaz (Unión), Enrique Maza (Atlético Tucumán), Franco Villalba (Vélez), Dylan Gorosito (River), Agustín Obregón (River), Juan Giménez (Rosario Central), Ulises Giménez (River), Agustín Colmegna (Boca), Octavio Ontivero (Lanús), Lucas Flores (River), Alejo Rivas (San Lorenzo), Thiago Laplace (Lanús), Gustavo Albarracín (Talleres), Mariano Gerez (Lanús), Kevin Gutiérrez (Rosario Central), Franco Mastantuono (River), Alejo Sarco (Vélez), Agustín Ruberto (River), Ian Subiabre (River), Hernán Godoy (Lanús), Santiago López (Independiente), Benjamín Acosta (Lanús) and Luka Andrade (Boca).
The change of venue
The FIFA Council that had stripped Indonesia of the organization of the Under-20 World Cup for not admitting that country the presence of the representative of Israel for political reasons, now granted the Under-17 that it had taken from Peru three months ago for infrastructure issues.
The U-20 World Cup ended up being organized by Argentina and now Indonesia will host the U-17, for which those led by Placente are qualified.
The decision was adopted by FIFA in the same session in which it approved that the 2025 Club World Cup that will have the participation of 32 teams will have the United States as host in its first edition.
The venues of the 20 U-2024 Women's World Cup were also made official in Colombia, while the Dominican Republic will host the U-17 Women's World Cup in 2024 and Uzbekistan the Futsal World Cup next year.
While the 2023 Beach Soccer World Cup, which will be held in the United Arab Emirates and was scheduled from November 16 to 26, will be delayed to take place from February 15 to 25, 2024.
And finally the FIFA Council gave the designation of Bangkok as host of the 74th. FIFA Congress, to be held on 17 May 2024 in the Thai capital.
