LIVE BALL – The drawing or draw for the group stage for the 2023 U-20 World Cup Argentina has just been held at the FIFA headquarters located in Zurich, Switzerland, Friday 21 April 2023. The fate of the Israeli national team has also become the concern of Indonesian football fans.
This is because Israel was rejected by a number of Islamic organizations and governors in Indonesia. As a result, Indonesia was dropped by FIFA as host of the U-20 World Cup. Argentina eventually replaced the host.
What’s interesting, during last night’s draw, Israel came out the last. Israel is in Group C with Senegal, Japan and Colombia.
This can be considered as a balanced group. The four countries in this group are not the favorite countries to win.
Israel is a debut team at the 2023 U-20 World Cup. However, their success in becoming runners up to the 2022 U-19 European Cup deserves to be reckoned with.
The Senegal national team won the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup
Then, there is the Senegal National Team which is the champion of the 2023 U-20 African Cup. Senegal has always qualified in the last four U-20 World Cup editions. Their best achievement was becoming semifinalists in 2015.
