The 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the twenty-first edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup took place in South Korea.

Host selection[change | change source]

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.[2] A total of 12 countries submitted a bid to host the tournament by the May 2013 deadline:[3]

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.[6]

Qualified teams[change | change source]

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.[7]

Organization[change | change source]

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

  • The match schedule was announced by FIFA on 23 November 2015.[8]
  • Former South Korean internationals Ahn Jung-hwan and Park Ji-sung were appointed as the ambassadors of the tournament.[9]
  • The official emblem, slogan ("Trigger the Fever") and look of the tournament were unveiled on 16 June 2016.[10]
  • The official mascot, Chaormi, a young tiger, was unveiled on 25 August 2016.[11]
  • Details of the volunteer programme, which was launched on 1 November 2016, was released on 18 October 2016.[12]
  • The official posters were released on 27 October 2016.[13]
  • Venue package tickets went on sale on 1 November 2016,[14] while general ticket sales began on 2 January 2017.[15] All-out ticket sales kicked off on 16 March 2017.[16]
  • NCT Dream were appointed as Local Organising Committee ambassadors, and were also chosen to sing the official song of the tournament: "Trigger the Fever".[17]

Draw[change | change source]

The draw was held on 15 March 2017, 15:00 KST (UTC+9), at the Suwon Artrium in Suwon, South Korea.[18][19] Two Argentine players who have won the FIFA U-20 World Cup, Diego Maradona and Pablo Aimar, participated in the draw.[20] Minho Choi from the South Korean idol group SHINee also participated in the draw.[19]

The 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four teams, with hosts South Korea being allocated to position A1. 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), with bonus points awarded to confederation champions. Teams from the same confederation could not be drawn against each other for the group stage.[21]

Pot 1 Pot 2 Pot 3 Pot 4
  1.  South Korea (Hosts – assigned to A1)
  2.  Portugal
  3.  Uruguay
  4.  France
  5.  United States

Match officials[change | change source]

A total of 22 refereeing trios (a referee and two assistant referees), 5 support referees, and 21 video assistant referees were appointed for the tournament.[22][23] This was the first FIFA underage tournament which uses the video assistant referee.[24]

Knockout stage[change | change source]

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.[25]

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:[25]
