2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup

The 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 21st edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of FIFA, since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. The tournament was hosted by South Korea from 20 May to 11 June 2017.[2]

Along with Japan and Mexico, South Korea became the third nation to have hosted all of FIFA men's international competitions, namely the 2002 FIFA World Cup, the 2001 FIFA Confederations Cup, and the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup.

The South Korean FA originally made a request to host the tournament outside the traditional June/July period, as it would clash with South Korea's rainy season, as well as any possible national team selection should they have qualified for the Confederations Cup.[3]

Serbia, the 2015 champions, were not able to defend their title as they failed to reach the final round of the UEFA qualifying tournament. In doing so, they became the fifth consecutive incumbent title holder to fail to qualify for the subsequent tournament. The official match ball used in the tournament was Adidas Krasava.

England won their first FIFA U-20 World Cup title after beating Venezuela 1–0 in the final via a goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin.[4][5]

Host selection edit

Along with asking member associations whether it wished to host the Under 20, Under 17 or the Beach Soccer World Cup in 2017 (along with Women's Tournaments a year previous), a declaration of interest would need to have been sent by 15 May 2013.[6] A total of 12 countries submitted a bid to host the tournament by the May 2013 deadline:[7]

The final decision on who would be hosts were made as part of FIFA's Executive Committee meetings in Brazil on 5 December 2013 with Korea Republic being awarded the hosting rights.[10]

Qualified teams edit

A total of 24 teams qualified for the final tournament. In addition to South Korea who qualified automatically as hosts, the other 23 teams qualified from six separate continental competitions. Starting from 2017, the Oceania Football Confederation received an additional slot (in total two), while UEFA will have five instead of six slots.[11]

As part of preparations for the U-20 World Cup, the 2016 Suwon JS Cup, an international football friendly tournament, was held to prepare the host organisers.

Organization edit

The following were key milestones in the organization of the tournament:

  • The match schedule was announced by FIFA on 23 November 2015.[12]
  • Former South Korean internationals Ahn Jung-hwan and Park Ji-sung were appointed as the ambassadors of the tournament.[13]
  • The official emblem, slogan ("Trigger the Fever") and look of the tournament were unveiled on 16 June 2016.[14]
  • The official mascot, Chaormi, a young tiger, was unveiled on 25 August 2016.[15]
  • Details of the volunteer programme, which was launched on 1 November 2016, was released on 18 October 2016.[16]
  • The official posters were released on 27 October 2016.[17]
  • Venue package tickets went on sale on 1 November 2016,[18] while general ticket sales began on 2 January 2017.[19] All-out ticket sales kicked off on 16 March 2017.[20]
  • NCT Dream were appointed as Local Organising Committee ambassadors, and were also chosen to sing the official song of the tournament: "Trigger the Fever".[21]

Draw edit

The draw was held on 15 March 2017, 15:00 KST (UTC+9), at the Suwon Atrium in Suwon, South Korea.[22][23] Two Argentine players who have won the FIFA U-20 World Cup, Diego Maradona and Pablo Aimar, participated in the draw.[24] Minho Choi from the South Korean idol group SHINee also participated in the draw.[23]

The 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four teams, with hosts South Korea being automatically seeded into Pot 1 and assigned to the first position of group A. The rest of the teams were seeded into their respective pots based on their results in the last five FIFA U-20 World Cups (more recent tournaments weighted more heavily), as follows:[25]

Furthermore, five bonus points were added to each of the 6 continental champions from the qualifying tournaments.

Main article: 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup squads

Each team had to name a preliminary squad of 35 players. From the preliminary squad, the team had to name a final squad of 21 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline. Players in the final squad could be replaced due to serious injury up to 24 hours prior to kickoff of the team's first match.[29] The squads were announced by FIFA on 11 May 2017.[30][31]

Group stage edit

The top two teams of each group and the four best third-placed teams advanced to the round of 16.

  1. points obtained in all group matches;

Knockout stage edit

In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner. However, for the third place match, no extra time was played and the winner was determined by kicks from the penalty mark.[29]

In the round of 16, the four third-placed teams were matched with the winners of groups A, B, C, and D. The specific match-ups involving the third-placed teams depend on which four third-placed teams qualified for the round of 16:[29]

This was England's first appearance and victory in the final of a global football tournament since their senior side's 1966 FIFA World Cup victory, ending 51 years of waiting for a global tournament trophy.[85]
