Ansu Fati could be missing for Barcelona for a month for U17 World Cup

Ansu Fati’s meteoric rise has not gone unnoticed by the Spanish football federation. The RFEF is said to be working on convincing the 16-year-old Barcelona forward to join the Spanish team at youth level as soon as possible.

His father, Bori Fati, has said the player should be receiving his Spanish passport soon. That means the process could very well already be in progress.

Expediting the steps to get him registered for the FIFA U17 World Cup in Brazil this October will not be easy, but it is feasible. If the player so chooses, he may get the chance to represent Spain.
