The Netherlands World Champion 2025

The Netherlands U17 team has become World Champion for the 15th time. In the 25th edition of this tournament, Belgium was no match for the strong play of the Dutch in the final. Although Belgium also has a talented squad, it wasn't enough to challenge the Netherlands. After an early 2-2, the Netherlands pulled ahead to a halftime score of 17-4. The final score was ultimately 32-15. The Netherlands had already shown in all previous matches that they have a very strong squad. They managed to score more than 30 goals in every game, including against Chinese Taipei in the semi-finals (37-12). Congratulations, Netherlands!

Team The Netherlands! World Champion 2025

Team Belgium, proud winner of the silver medal!
