Elliott tipped as future star by FIFA

FIFA have named Republic of Ireland U20 goal-scoring sensation Stephen Elliott among their stars of the recent World Youth Championships held in the UAE.

Elliott was one of three European players included in a list of 12 players by FIFA which they expect to go on to greater things with senior teams over the coming years.

The Dubliner was one of Ireland’s stars of the tournament, scoring three goals as Ireland topped Group E with victories over Saudi Arabia and Mexico as well as a draw with the Ivory Coast before going out after a 3-2 golden goal defeat to eventual bronze medallists Columbia.
