Germany vs. North Korea: U17 World Cup live on TV – Be there!

The tension is rising in the football circus, because Germany's U17 national team has its second game in the World Cup in Qatar on November 7, 2025. After only managing a 1-1 draw in the first match against Colombia, the young team is now hoping for a countable success against North Korea, who have already gotten off to a strong start with an impressive 5-0 win against El Salvador. The exciting encounter kicks off at 2 p.m. Fans can watch the game for free on TV and on platforms such as Sky Sport and YouTube, as Bild reports.

In the first game of the World Cup, which was considered a real challenge, Toni Langsteiner scored the opening goal in the first minute, but Colombia equalized in the 57th minute. Coach Marc-Patrick Meister emphasizes that it is important to continue working on various aspects of the game. Especially now that the U17 team is starting the race as defending champions after winning the world championship title two years ago under Christian Wück, the signs point to competition.

A new format and interesting innovations

This year's U17 World Cup is special in several ways. For the first time, 48 teams from six confederations will take part in this prestigious tournament, which will be held in Qatar from November 3rd to 27th, 2025. The first 32 games have already produced 110 goals, giving a remarkable average of 3.44 goals per game, as recorded on Wikipedia.

The tournament will take place exclusively in Al Rayyan, where all matches will be played in the Aspire Zone. The final will be played at the Khalifa International Stadium. The 48 teams are divided into 12 groups of four teams, with the best two in each group and the eight best third-placed teams advancing to the knockout round. An exciting format that could cause many surprises!

A look at the future

This World Cup also saw some teams take to the stage taking part in a FIFA tournament for the first time - including El Salvador, Fiji, Republic of Ireland, Uganda and Zambia. Spectators can look forward to some exciting competitions as the young talents' passion and ambition grow. Bolivia's debut, which has not qualified for a FIFA tournament since 1994, is particularly attracting attention.

Overall, the organizers are pleased with a good audience response, with an average of over 820 visitors per game. The official marketing campaign has also been launched and includes the presentation of the official emblem, which was unveiled on May 12, 2025, the official song “TMRW’S GOAT”, as well as the cute mascot owl “Boma”, which was recently introduced.

As Marc-Patrick Meister's charges attempt to defend their title, it remains to be seen how they will fare against North Korea. The fans are keeping their fingers crossed, and one thing is certain: the German U17 wants to make the next steps to defend their title clear today!
