Now how about selecting the best African talent based on their performance at the World Cup? You will be surprised who makes this team.

    How do you determine Africa's greatest Fifa U17 World Cup XI? Do you look at their performance at the tournament or who among the talented players made the ultimate breakthrough to global acclaim or the Fifa World Cup?

    Nigeria won the inaugural tournament in 1985 when no one knew that two African teams, Nigeria and Guinea traveled to China for what was then known as the Fifa Kodak U16 World Cup, but both came back as heroes with Nigeria overcoming Guinea on penalties after a 1-1 draw in the semifinals en route
