Uganda’s U17 national football team, known as the “Cranes,” is set to face France in a crucial group stage match at the U17 World Cup. This encounter marks the third day of competition for both teams in Group K. Following a disappointing start, where Uganda suffered a narrow defeat to Canada, they are seeking redemption against a formidable French side.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday, November 11, at 11:30 AM, and will take place at Aspire Zone (Pitch 3) in Al-Rayyan. Fans can look forward to watching the game live, as it will be available on multiple broadcasting platforms, including beIN Connect MENA HD, beIN Sports MENA English 2 HD, beIN Sports MENA Global HD, and Premier Sports 1 Ireland HD. It will also be streamed on FIFA’s official platform, FIFA+.
As it stands in Group K, the standings reveal France and Canada each with 3 points, following their respective victories, and both currently hold positive goal differentials. In contrast, Uganda is still searching for its first points of the tournament, sitting at the bottom of the group, alongside Chile, who also have no points after two matchdays.
The “Cranes” will need a robust performance to turn their fortunes around against a French squad that has shown strength, winning their opening match 2-0 against Chile. As tension builds for this pivotal encounter, both teams are eager to secure a win that could significantly impact their progression in the tournament.
