How to watch the Joeys v France at the FIFA U-17 World Cup™

Knockout football is on the agenda for the Joeys as they take on France in the do-or-die Round of 17 clash at the FIFA U-17 World Cup™ 2019.

The match kicks off at 10am on Thursday morning AEDT (8pm Wednesday local time) as the young Aussies do battle with the two-time champions from Europe.

Trevor Morgan’s side showed all their quality to beat tournament heavyweights Nigeria 2-1 in their final Group B encounter on the weekend to book their spot in the knockout phase.

France advanced to the last 16 by winning all three games in their group and are considered one of the favourites for the tournament.

But the Joeys are in a confident mood and will fancy their chances of beating France and making the Quarter Finals, where either Spain or Senegal will be waiting.
