Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>FIFA President Gianni Infantino: \u201cA country that lives and breathes football will be a tremendous inspiration for the stars of today\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

The Bureau of the FIFA Council has confirmed Argentina as the host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2023TM.<\/p>\n

The decision follows the removal of the original tournament host, Indonesia, as well as a subsequent bid submitted by the Argentinian Football Association (AFA) and an on-site inspection by a FIFA delegation to the South American country last week. The delegation members visited the proposed tournament venues and associated infrastructure. The hosting agreement has been signed by the AFA, along with all other relevant documents on the part of the host and local authorities.<\/p>\n

The FIFA U-20 World Cup will take place from 20 May to 11 June 2023 and will feature six groups of four teams. Having been awarded the hosting rights to the tournament, Argentina will compete in the event in place of Indonesia. Argentina is the most successful nation in the history of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, having won the tournament six times, most recently in 2007. The country also hosted the competition in 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cFIFA is delighted to announce that this year\u2019s edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup will take place in Argentina, as the home of the world champions opens its doors to the tomorrow\u2019s superstars of world football,\u201d said FIFA President Gianni Infantino. \u201cI would like to thank the AFA and particularly its President Claudio Tapia, as well as the governmental authorities, for their commitment to hosting this magnificent event at such short notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U-20 World Cup plays a key role in FIFA\u2019s efforts to promote youth football across the world. Since 1977, this tournament has featured some of the greatest players of the past decades, including Diego Armando Maradona, Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, Erling Haaland and many others. Having this year\u2019s edition taking place in a country that lives and breathes football will be a tremendous inspiration for the stars of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the confirmation of the new hosts, the Official Draw of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2023TM will take place on Friday 21 April at the Home of FIFA in Zurich. Further details will be provided in due course.<\/p>\n
