While the most popular sport in Israel, the small country has rarely seen success…until now when its National U20 team placed 3rd in the world. National team bests South Korea 3-1, wrapping up its inaugural appearance in the tournament on a high.

According to the Times of Israel, “The Israelis stunned powerhouse Brazil in the quarterfinals, but their charmed progress was stopped with a 1-0 defeat by Uruguay in the last four on Friday.”

Mazel Tov to the team and country!
