Will be on Thursday.

From dfb.de:

The Final Draw for the U 17 World Cup takes place on Thursday in Seoul, Korea. By finishing in fifth place at the European Championships, Germany has qualified for the World Cup (August 18 – September 9, 2007). Four other European teams will compete at the World Cup: Spain, France, England and Belgium.

The Asian Confederation will be represented by Japan, North Korea, Tajikistan, Syria and host country South Korea. New Zealand represents Ozeania.

The two-time U 17 World Champions Ghana (1991, 1995) and Nigeria (1985, 1993) as well as Togo and Tunesia start for Africa, while four nations represent South America – the three-time champions Brazil (1997, 1999, 2003), Argentina, Columbia and Peru. The Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football sends the USA, Honduras, Costa Rica, Haiti and Trinidad Tobago to the World Cup.

The final of the World Cup is scheduled for September 9, to be played in the Seoul World Cup stadium of 2002.

The German U 17, which had last qualified for a World Cup in 1999, will be coached by former Bundesliga player and Champions-League winner Heiko Herrlich, who takes over for Paul Schomann. “I have tremendous respect for what Paul Schomann has accomplished with this team. To debut my coaching career for the DFB at a World Cup is a tremendous challenge”, said Heiko Herrlich.

Forza Tajikstan ;)

yeah, tough group!!!! At that age, Germany might have only one thing on their favor - dicipline! Colombia's youngsters are on the rise. Won't be long before we see them back at WC level again.

24 teams in 6rroups at the WC,
so how is the system?
Do you need to become 1st, 2nd or one of the
best 4 3rd placed team to reach the 1/8 finals,
or is their another modus?

12 group winners and runner-ups + the 4 best third placed teams advance.
