The FIFA U20 World Cup is one of the most important events on the football calendar each year and here is all you need to know about the 2023 schedule and fixtures
The FIFA U-20 World Cup 2023 is scheduled to run from May 20 to June 11 following a particularly heated dispute with the host country.
Indonesia was originally slated to host the 23rd football tournament, but a historic decision was taken in response to criticism of Israel’s participation. Argentina is the new host country.
Despite failing to qualify for the CONMEBOL tournament, the famed Albiceleste was one of the 24 teams who took part in the U-20 World Cup. They have the most victories of any team in the league with six championships.
The U-20 World Cup is now ready to begin after FIFA’s draw in Zurich, Switzerland.
