FIFA held this Friday, in the Swiss city of Zurich, the draw for the Under 20 World Cup, which will take place in Argentina after taking over the headquarters that corresponded to Indonesia.
The World Cup will take place from May 20, with the opening match between Argentina and Uzbekistan at the Madre de Ciudades stadium in Santiago del Estero, and will end on Sunday June 11 at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium in La Plata.
The cast led by Javier Mascherano will lead Group A, which also includes Guatemala and New Zealand.
Present at the draw were Juan Pablo Sorín, Under 20 world champion in Qatar 1995, and Franco-Argentine David Trezeguet, senior world champion in France 1998. Precisely, the former defender of River and Argentinos Juniors was in charge of drawing the colored ball light blue, since Argentina is the organizer, knowing that it would integrate the first group for being the host country.
The group stage of the 2023 Under 20 World Cup will consist of 24 teams divided into six zones of four in each. It should be noted that the first two of each group and the four best third-placed teams will enter the round of 16.
