On the evening of June 22, the final matches of Group B of the 2023 AFC U17 Championship ended. After securing an early ticket to the quarterfinals, U17 Korea unexpectedly lost 0-2 to U17 Iran. This result made Afghanistan's 2-1 victory over Qatar just a formality.

With an important victory over South Korea, Iran U17 has risen to the top of Group B and will face Yemen U17 in the first quarter-final match. Meanwhile, the second place in Group B means South Korea U17 will have to face Thailand U17 in the second quarter-final match.
The winning teams in the quarter-finals of the 2023 AFC U17 Championship will qualify for the 2023 U17 World Cup, so the matches between Thailand and South Korea and Iran and Yemen will be very important.
Thai fans are hoping that the home team can defeat South Korea and win the right to enter the 2023 U17 World Cup. In the past, Thai youth football participated in the U17 World Cup twice in 1997 and 1999.
That was the time when Thai football had outstanding young talents such as Sutee Suksomkit, Suree Sukha, Nattaporn Phanrit, Teeratep Winothai or Sakda Joemdee, who later became pillars of the Thai national team.
The 2023 AFC U17 quarter-final match between Korea and Thailand will take place at 9:00 p.m. on June 25 at BG Pathum Stadium.
