Under 17 XXXI Atlantic International Cup

25-28 January 2005. Whilst the new under 16 squad were playing in Portugal, last year's group graduated to the under 17 level and kicked off with an invitation tournament in the Canary Islands. In the end though Spain could only finish runners up to the Czech Republic, with the Canary Island regional selection finishing a surprising third ahead of Greece. Juan Santiesteban's side's first tie was against the Greek team, a match which they won 3-1 thanks to goals from Montejo, Bueno and Adrián. However in their second game they were held to a 0-0 draw by the Canary Islands, even though the hosts played half the match with ten men after Raúl Suárez was sent off shortly before the interval. And they could only draw 1-1 in their last fixture against the Czech Republic, Bueno's equaliser after Pilik's early strike not enough to take them above their opponents, who had won their first two games.
