The final six teams to make the Round of 16 in the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup, India 2017 were known Saturday as France and England continued their strong performances to top thier respective Groups E and F.

Honduras, Iraq, Japan, and Mexico all came through for the knock-out stages, which kick off on Monday, October 16.

The Black Starlets who are having thier pre-tournament high credentials somewhat measured now after their scrappy first two group games, are already in Mumbai where they take on regional opponents Niger, themselves not looking too cocky.

Colombia and Germany are sure to set the second stage of the tournament alight when they clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi, in the first of the eight games.
