It says Australia’s Bissian Kutleshi is his country’s captain, while Diego, son of Elias “Domingues” Belimbi, wears Mozambique’s captain’s armband and scored two goals in the African tournament.

The report also mentions Danish player Hansen, who scored 13 goals in 16 appearances for the U-17 national team, helping his country qualify for the finals. According to the source, he joined PSV Eindhoven at the beginning of the current year from Bodø/Glimt.
