FIFA U-17 WC Quarter-finals: Live streaming, TV listings, timings, dates, venues, squads

New Delhi: From the initial 24 teams which competed in the 2017 edition of FIFA U-17 World Cup in India, now we are left with only eight teams as quarterfinals start on Saturday (October 21).

Here's everything you need to knwo about the last-8 clashes:

Quarter Final 1: Mali vs Ghana

With very little separating the two in strategy and technique, Ghana could count on their better defensive organisation against Mali in an all-African quarterfinal.

Two-time champions Ghana are seeking to revive their glory days in the tournament, having last won it way back in 1995. Ghana had been beaten 1-0 by Mali in the final of the Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations, and they would be determined to avenge that loss.

While they left their opponents panting with their speed, the Ghanaians are aware that cutting through the Mali defence is a different proposition altogether.

Quarter Final 3: Spain vs Iran

Less-fancied Iran will look to do a Leicester City when they take on three-time runners-up Spain on Sunday.

Leicester too defied all odds to win the English Premier League (EPL) title a year back.

While Ghana and Brazil have laid their hands on the silverware twice and thrice respectively, Spain, England, Mali and the US have all reached the knockout stages.

Quarter Final 4: Germany vs Brazil

This is the big-ticket match is the quarters. Their senior teams met in the 2014 World Cup semis, with the Germans annihilating Brazil 7-1, then the Neymar-inspired Brazil returned the favour at the Rio Olympics last year to win gold.

This age-group meeting between two of the most successful teams is expected to be a sold-out match at football-crazed Kolkata.
