The 2007 FIFA Under 17 World Cup was the debut tournament for the mini H. In their first game against Spain, Christian Martínez and Roger Rojas managed to score two goals. Despite the team's effort they lost 4-2 and went on to face Argentina, which had surprisingly drawn against Syria. The mini H lost 4-1 with captain, Johnny Leveron, scoring the only and final goal of the tournament by means of a penalty kick. The final game, to complete their World Cup journey, was a defeat 2-0 at hands of Syria.
