Argentina will host the U20 World Cup

Sub 20 world

IT’S OFFICIAL! After so much speculation and unofficial confirmations, it was reported that Argentina will be the headquarters of Sub 20 world after the resignation of FIFA to Indonesia as the host of the event. The reasons were extra-sports, since the Asian country refused to include the Israel National Team in the Youth World Cup for political and religious reasons, for which it was considered an unacceptable fact and its venue was revoked.

Before this is official, it’s been a few weeks since the AFA they approached the proposal to the maximum body of world football to become the venue for the Under 20 World Cup that needed an immediate resolution since its start will be in little more than a month (on May 20).

With other alternatives such as the United States, Peru and Qatar, FIFA finally gave rise to the option of Argentina after a summit in CONMEBOL between Claudio Tapia, Alejandro Domínguez and Gianni Infantino where the details of the organization of the contest were met and agreed. After this meeting in Luque, Paraguay days ago, It was confirmed that the U20 World Cup will be held in our country after a new meeting in Argentina between the AFA and the National Government where administrative details were finalized.

It should be remembered that the Argentine National Team had not qualified for this Youth World Cup with Javier Mascherano as DT and now, with the confirmation that it will host, it will automatically classify and, according to Bolavip as a scoop, the “Jefecito” will return to his position as coach. In this way, the AFA maneuver went perfectly.

FIFA officialization and official confirmation on the exact dates and venues still remain, but it will be carried out within the period of May 20 to June 11, which was scheduled to take place in Indonesia. As for the venues, it is presumed that they will be stadiums that do not interfere with the clubs since it will be played simultaneously with the local tournament, so it is speculated that they will be the Unique Stadium of La Plata, the Mother of Cities of Santiago del Estero, the Bicentennial Stadium of San Juan, the Centennial of Chaco, the Padre Martearena of Salta, with the possibility of adding the Malvinas Argentinas of Mendoza and the Mario Alberto Kempes of Córdoba. This will become official as the hours go by, but the confirmation from AFA, FIFA and the National Government that the U20 World Cup will be in Argentina is already a fact.
