Portugal have one more hurdle to overcome in their quest for a first FIFA U17 World Cup title. Austria stand in their way of making history in Qatar, both nations reaching the final for the first time.
Far-right leader Andre Ventura has taken the lead in Portugal’s presidential race, alongside former navy officer and political newcomer Admiral Henrique Gouveia e Melo, according to a poll published by newspaper Expresso on Friday.
Portugal made a fast start and almost bagged an early opener when Duarte Cunha dragged a shot wide. Austria’s rapid counter-attacking has been a feature of their U-17 World Cup campaign, though, and from one such break Hasan Deshishku burst clear and forced a fine save from Romario Cunha.
Al-Nassr continued their perfect start to the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League season as Portuguese superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix shined in the 4-1 win over sixth-placed Al-Khaleej.
Ronaldo has featured at all of those so far except the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. He has made 22 appearances for Portugal at World Cups, putting him fifth on the all-time list behind, Italy’s Paulo Maldini (23), Germany’s Miroslav Klose (24), Lothar Matthaus (25) and Messi (26).
Portugal are through to the 2025 FIFA U17 World Cup final following a nail biting penalty shootout victory over Brazil. Chances were few and far between in a semi-final that focused on physicality and fouls over free flowing football.
