Portugal’s 2023 European U17 Championship campaign came to an end in the group stage after a 1-1 draw against France at Balmazújváros Városi Stadion.

Fodé Sylla put France ahead in the 10th minute with Filipe Ramos making two substitutions before the break.

He couldn’t have asked for a better outcome after introducing Geovany Quenda and Nuno Patrício in the 39th minute, Quenda’s corner converted by Patrício two minutes later.

The Equipa das Quinas had most of the momentum in the second half but couldn’t find the winning goal.

Quenda tested Paul Argney from a tight angle, the final chance coming in added time when Rodrigo Duarte headed Martim Fernandes’ cross over the bar.

Portugal registered their first win at the 2023 European U17 Championship after a 2-1 victory against Scotland at DEAC Stadion.

Olivio Tomé opened the scoring in the 3rd minute with Gil Martins hitting the post four minutes later.

The Equipa das Quinas doubled their advantage in the 20th minute after punishing a mistake from the Scots, Gonçalo Sousa stepping around Callan McKenna and finding the bottom corner.

Filipe Ramos’ side were denied what appeared to be a clear penalty on the stroke of half time when Owen Hastie injured Martim Ferreira, the midfielder hobbling out on crutches after the break.

Portugal wasted numerous chances to put the bed in the second half before Lennon Connolly reduced the deficit in the 88th minute. Scotland were unable to find an equaliser despite four minutes of added time and are set for an early exit in Hungary.

Portugal’s 2023 European U17 Championship got off to a terrible start after an ugly 4-0 defeat to Germany at Nagyerdei Stadion.

Noah Darvich took advantage of two errors to open the scoring in the 32nd minute, more poor defending from a corner allowing Almugera Kabar to score on the stroke of half time.

Filipe Ramos introduced Tiago Parente and Gonçalo Moreira at the break but it made little difference to proceedings.

It was a substitute from the opposite bench who got it done, Robert Ramsak scoring five minutes after being introduced and sealing the deal in added time.

Portugal sit last in Group C after France beat Scotland 3-1, Ramos’ side with three days to prepare for the Scots which is a must win match.

Portugal are making their final preparations with the 2023 UEFA European U17 Championship starting today. Sixteen nations are competing in Hungary with Filipe Ramos' side attempting to lift the trophy for the third time.

The "Equipa das Quinas" have been drawn in Group C alongside Scotland, France and Germany. Their campaign begins against the Germans with the match taking place in Debrecen.

Portugal have a proud history at the tournament, winning four titles when it was a U16 event and two titles at U17 level, in 2003 and 2016. They reached the semi-finals in Israel in 2023.
