Osimhen’s Historic U17 World Cup Record Faces New Threat as Austria’s Moser Closes In

Nigeria’s historic dominance at the FIFA U17 World Cup may soon come under pressure as Austria’s rising star, Johannes Moser, edges dangerously close to breaking Victor Osimhen’s long-standing goal record. Osimhen’s iconic ten-goal tally, achieved during the 2015 FIFA U17 World Cup, has remained untouched for nearly a decade and is widely regarded as one of the nation’s proudest football achievements.


According to reports from Qatar, where the 2025 edition of the tournament is being held, Moser has delivered a stunning performance throughout the competition and now heads into the final with eight goals. Football analysts say he is just two strikes away from matching Osimhen’s milestone, and a hat-trick in the championship match would see the Nigerian’s record officially rewritten.

Portugal’s Anísio Cabral also remains in contention with six goals, though insiders note that the spotlight has firmly shifted to Moser following his explosive semi-final display. As reported by tournament officials, Austria secured their spot in the final after defeating Italy, a victory powered by two additional goals from the young Austrian forward.


Portugal also fought their way into the final after a dramatic clash with Brazil, which they won on penalties. According to commentators at the match venue, Portugal’s fast-paced attacking system could create a fiercely competitive showdown, especially given Austria’s equally aggressive frontline.

Observers note that the upcoming final could become one of the most goal-laden in recent U17 World Cup history. Football experts interviewed around the tournament complex explained that while records are made to be broken, legendary achievements such as Osimhen’s often carry a certain mystique that can be difficult to surpass.

Still, as many sports analysts have pointed out, the Nigerian striker’s historic performance in 2015 set a benchmark that continues to inspire young players worldwide. With Moser in top form and the stakes higher than ever, all attention now turns to Thursday’s final, where Nigeria—and the football world—will find out whether Osimhen’s legendary record will stand or fall.
