The FIFA U-20 World Cup came to light in order to develop talents around the world. The format was taken from a juvenile cup played in Cannes during the 1970s.

The first oficial edition of this tournament was held in Tunisia, back in 1977. That first tournament was played by sixteen teams, with the USSR becoming the first-ever U-20 champion after beating Mexico in a penakty shootout. Since then, FIFA decided to play the tournament every two years, reaching 21 editions so far.

FIFA is keen on expanding its tournaments from time to time, and the U-20 World Cup is no exception. The competition has been played by a total of 24 teams since the 1997 edition. No team has been able to play in all 21 editions of the FIFA U-20 WC, with Brazil being the team with the most FIFA U-20 World Cups under their belt, with 18 World Cup performances in this category. A Canarinha was not able to qualify to the 1979, 2013, 2017 and 2019 editions.

Argentina is the national team with the most U-20 titles, with six (1979, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005, and 2007). Portugal stands as the most winning European side, with two tiles up until today (1989 and 1991).

2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup

The 22nd edition of the U-20 FIFA World Cup is set to take place in Poland. This will be the fifth European country to host this competition, following the USSR (1985), Portugal (1991), The Netherlands (2005), and Turkey (2015). Portugal is the only European country to win the tournament while playing as hosts.

When will the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup take place?

• Group stage: May 23 to May 31.
• Round of 16: June 2 to June 4.
• Quarterfinals: June 7 and 8.
• Semi-finals: June 11.
• Third-place match: June 14.
• Final match: June 15.

Which teams will play in the 2018 FIFA U-20 World Cup?

• Group A: Poland (host nation), Colombia, Tahití, Senegal.
• Group B: Mexico, Italy, Japan, Ecuador.
• Group C: Honduras, New Zealand, Uruguay, Norway.
• Group D: Qatar, Nigeria, Ukraine, United States.
• Group E: Panama, Malí, France, Saudi Arabia.
• Group F: Portugal, South Korea, Argentina, South Africa.

*England, the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup winners, and Brazil, will be the major absences in this tournament. The English side was not able to win their playoff match against Norway, while Brazil ended the CONMEBOL U-20 Qualifiers in fifth place.

Which cities will host the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup?

Bielsko-Biała, Bydgoszcz, Gdynia, Łódź, Lublin and Tychy. The city of Lubin had been elected as host, but some logistics issues regarding hotel capacity emerged, and the city was replaced by Bielsko-Biala.

Did you know? Argentine striker Sergio “Kun” Agüero and Portuguese footballers Joao Pinto and Fernando Brassard are the only players in history to win two FIFA U-20 titles. Agüero accomplished that feat by playing in the 2005 and 2007 editions with La Albiceleste, while the Portuguese players earned that distinction by lifting the title in 1989 and in 1991.
