Standouts at 2025 Under-17 Women's World Cup
Morocco is playing host to one of the most anticipated youth football tournaments, with several young stars standing out so far. Among them are six talented players who have consistently showcased their skills in the group stages.
Giulia Galli from Italy has been a revelation, breaking defensive lines and scoring crucial goals for her nation. The 17-year-old forward was instrumental in helping Italy reach the semi-finals of last summer's Under-17 European Championship and has since made an impact with Roma in Serie A Women's Cup fixtures. Her ability to find space and score goals inside the box has been a key factor in her side's success.
In Brazil, Giovanna Waksman is another player who has caught attention. The 16-year-old forward has impressed throughout her youth career and was named player of the tournament at last year's South American Championship. With qualities to play both as a forward and a No 10, she has been crucial in guiding her side through the group stages.
North Korea, meanwhile, is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. Kim Won-sim, just 15 years old, has been instrumental in leading her nation's success so far. Her technical ability and tireless work rate have earned her praise from coaches and fans alike. A highlight of her campaign was scoring two goals against Cameroon, including a crucial 98th-minute winner that sent her team through.
Spain's Carlota Chácon is another standout player, having scored four goals in the group stages to help her side qualify for the knockouts. The Real Sociedad forward has developed her skills under new coach Mila Martínez and has formed strong relationships with those around her. Her aerial ability and goal-scoring instinct have made her a key player for Spain.
Nigeria's Queen Joseph has also shown her potential, despite a challenging group stage that saw her nation on the brink of elimination. The 15-year-old forward scored two goals in their final game against Samoa to take her tournament tally to three, salvaging Nigeria's campaign and earning herself player-of-the-match recognition.
Finally, there is Nyanya Touray from the United States, who has continued her impressive form for her national team despite a group stage that was largely uneventful. With four goals to date, she is now just one away from equalling an Under-17 Women's World Cup record, and her instinctive finishing ability has made her crucial to Katie Schoepfer's side.
These young players are setting the tone for what promises to be a thrilling tournament in Morocco.
