FIFA U-17 FWC TEAMS OVERVIEW: BRAZIL,CAMEROON, CANADA, COLOMBIA.


BRAZIL TEAM

BRAZIL
Tournament regulars Brazil will be making their fifth U-17 Women’s World Cup appearance at Uruguay 2018 out of six attempts, having only failed to qualify for Costa Rica 2014. Their best placing to date is eighth, which they achieved at Trinidad and Tobago 2010 and Azerbaijan 2012. On their two other appearances to date, at New Zealand 2008 and Jordan 2016, they went out in the group phase.
Brazil won their three opening matches at the U-17 Women’s South American Championships without conceding a goal, beating Ecuador 1-0, Argentina 2-0 and Peru 3-0. Alarm bells were ringing, however, when they lost their next two games: 1-0 to Colombia in their last group match and 2-1 to Uruguay in their first match in the final four-team phase.A Canarinha got back on track with a 1-0 defeat of the Colombians before easing past Venezuela 3-0 to clinch their third continental title and a ticket to Uruguay 2018.
BRAZILS COACH: Luiz Bombonato Goulart
A former midfielder, Luizao played for several Brazilian clubs before embarking on his coaching career in 2003, taking charge of the U-15 and U-20 sides at Sao Paulo’s Juventus. In 2011 he began working with women’s teams alongside Emily Lima, with the pair then teaming up at the helm of Brazil’s U-17 women’s side. He took over as head coach in 2015 and will be appearing at his second World Cup in the age group at Uruguay 2018. Luizao bloomed at Guarani Futebol Clibe, playing alongside close friends Dialminha and Marcio Amoroso. Luizao (with Djaminha) was then transferred to palmeiras, where he won many titles, including a Sao Paulo State Championship under the command of Vanderlei Luxemburgo, where he scored 22 of 102 squad goals. He then followed Djalminha to Spain
s Deportivo de La Coruna, but unlike the talented playmaker, Luizao failed to settle. He returned to Brazil to Club de Regatas Vasco da Gama. In July 2002, he had another unsuccessful abroad stint, with german bundesliga side hertha BSC leaving the side on january 2004.

CAMEROON TEAM


CAMEROON

It was a case of third time lucky for Cameroon in FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup qualifying, as they made it to Jordan 2016 after two unsuccessful campaigns. However, the tournament proved a baptism of fire, with the Lioness Cubs losing all three of their games and therefore having to pack their bags after the group stage. That said, the debutantes acquitted themselves impressively, particularly in the 3-2 and 2-0 defeats by Canada and Germany respectively.
Following two dazzling displays of power and pace against Algeria, whom they routed 4-0 in Algiers and 7-0 in Yaounde, it was Cameroon's composure that got the job done against Nigeria. After the first leg finished 2-2, the Lioness Cubs kept their nerve on home turf to hold the continental giants – hitherto a fixture at the U-17 Women's World Cup – to a 1-1 draw in the decider, booking their ticket to the global extravaganza on away goals. Marie Ngah was their star player along the way, finding the net five times in four matches.
The Cameroon national women's football team, is the national team of Cameroon and is controlled by the Cameroon Football Association. They finished second in the 1991, 2004, 2014, and 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations, participated in the 2012 Olympic Games and have competed in their first ever FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015
The coach : Stephane NDZANA
Stephane Ndzana took over from Minkreo Birwe following Cameroon's Jordan 2016 exit. After a spell during which he combined national team duties with the hotseat at the club Panthere du Nde, he subsequently focused his attentions on the battle to reach Uruguay 2018. His squad contains a fine blend of experience and individual talent, which he harnessed to good effect by championing the importance of discipline and challenging his charges to push themselves to the limit.

CANADA TEAM



CANADA
Canada have qualified for every FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup since the inaugural tournament in New Zealand in 2008. The nation has progressed to the quarter-finals on three times occasions (2008, 2012 and 2014), but have yet to reach the semi-finals. In 2010, they entered the world finals as CONCACAF champions, however, they failed to advance past the group stage that time around.
The Canadians booked their ticket to Uruguay 2018 after a dramatic 2-1 win over Haiti in the match for third place at the CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship in Bradenton, Florida. 
The Canada U-17 women's national soccer team is a youth soccer team operated under the Canadian Soccer Association. Its primary role is the development of players in preparation for the senior national team. The team's most recent major tournament was the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship, which was postponed after Canada had played one match due to civil unrest in Nicaragua.Following the resumption of the tournament, Canada placed third and qualified for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup
The coach : Rhian Wilkinson
Rhian Emilie Wilkinson (born May 12, 1982) is a Canadian professional soccer defender and former striker who last played in 2015 for Portland Thorns FC in the National Women's Soccer League. She was also a member of the Canadian national team, with whom she won an Olympic bronze medal at London 2012. She has played as a forward and midfielder, but is primarily an offensively-minded right fullback who carries the ball forward and makes crosses in the attacking zone. A former defender who made 181 appearances for Canada, Rhian Wilkinson will lead her country at Uruguay 2018 following the departure of Beverly Priestman, who guided the North Americans through qualifying. She brings a wealth of international experience to the role after an illustrious playing career that included four trips to the FIFA Women’s World Cup™ (USA 2003, China 2007, Germany 2011 and Canada 2015) and two bronze medals at the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament (London 2012 and Rio 2016). Wilkinson began her coaching career with the Canadian women’s national team programme in 2014 while still active on the pitch and has continued to serve in that role since hanging up her boots in February 2017.

COLOMBIA TEAM


COLOMBIA


Uruguay 2018 is Colombia’s fourth appearance in the competition. They have yet to advance beyond the group phase, having finished 13th at the inaugural tournament in New Zealand in 2008, 11th at Azerbaijan 2012, and 16th at Costa Rica 2014.Colombia began the South American Championships in the best possible fashion, collecting maximum points in the first phase thanks to victories over Argentina (4-0), Peru (4-0), Brazil (1-0) and Ecuador (3-1). They began the final phase in the same vein, beating Venezuela 2-0.A 1-0 defeat by the Brazilians then checked their momentum. Needing a point to finish runners-up and secure a place at the world finals, the Colombians got the job done with a 1-1 draw against Uruguay.
The coach : Didier Luna
A graduate in Physical Education, Didier Luna spent a decade working as an assistant coach and fitness trainer in men’s football before taking charge of the Bogota regional women’s team, where he won seven league titles in a ten-year tenure. Those achievements led to him being appointed Colombia’s U-17 women’s team coach in July 2017.
