The United States under-17 women's national team defeated Samoa 17-0 in their opening match of the FIFA U17 World Cup. This result established a new record for the highest number of goals scored in a single match in FIFA World Cup history.
The United States U17 women's national team began their FIFA World Cup tournament with a historic performance, defeating Samoa 17-0. The match, which served as the opening game for the U.S. squad, resulted in the highest goal tally ever recorded in any FIFA World Cup match, across both men's and women's tournaments at any age level.
