The2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 22nd edition of theFIFA U-20 World Cup, the biennial international men's youthfootball championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations ofFIFA, since its inception in1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. The tournament was hosted byPoland between 23 May and 15 June 2019.[3][1] This was the first FIFA tournament hosted by Poland; the country had hostedUEFA international football events in the past including theUEFA Euro 2012 with Ukraine and the2017 UEFA European Under-21 Championship.
England won theprevious tournament inSouth Korea, but did not qualify for the tournament after finishing sixth at the2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship inFinland. In doing so, they became the sixth consecutive incumbent title holders to fail to qualify for the subsequent tournament. The official match ball used in the tournament was Adidas Conext19.
Ukraine won their first FIFA U-20 World Cup title after beatingSouth Korea 3–1 in the final. They did it in their first appearance further than theround of 16, becoming the first team from a formerSoviet republic other thanRussia to win a FIFA competition title sinceits dissolution in 1991. TheSoviet Union, whose record is now inherited by Russia, previously won theinaugural U-20 World Cup in 1977.
In the group stage,Norway's 12–0 win againstHonduras was the biggest winning margin in any FIFA men's football tournament finals, whileErling Haaland's nine goals in the same match made him the only player to score a triplehat-trick at any significant intercontinental tournament for national teams for any gender.[4]
The bidding process to host the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup was launched by FIFA in June 2017.[5] A member association may bid for both tournaments, but they would be awarded to different hosts.[6]
Two countries submitted formal bids to host the tournament.
FIFA announced Poland as the hosts after theFIFA Council meeting on 16 March 2018 inBogotá,Colombia.[3] Poland won the bid over India in a 9–5 vote.
A total of 24 teams qualified for the final tournament. In addition toPoland, who qualified automatically as hosts, 23 other teams qualified from six separate continental competitions. The slot allocation was approved by the FIFA Council on 10 June 2018.[9] All 24 teams qualified had played in the tournament prior to this edition, making this the first and only (as of 2027) U-20 World Cup in which none of the teams that earned a spot were making their debut.
Bielsko-Biała,Bydgoszcz,Gdynia,Łódź,Lublin andTychy were the six cities hosting the competition.Lubin (not to confuse withLublin) ended up withdrawn from the list due to hotel capacity troubles and was replaced byBielsko-Biała.

The emblem was unveiled on 14 December 2018. The emblem features a crocus, a flower that blooms every spring in Poland combined with the colors of the Polish flag, symbolising the new faces that will emerge to shape the tournament's trophy.[10]
Grzywek, the official mascot was unveiled on 23 February 2019 one day before the final draw. Grzywek is inspired by aPolish bison distinctive name comes from the Polish word for "mane" – the long and coarse hair that adorns the neck of this striking animal – and also symbolises the country's pride at hosting its first ever FIFA competition.[11]
The match schedule was unveiled on 14 December 2018, the same day as the official emblem.[10]
The final draw was held on 24 February 2019, 17:30CET (UTC+1), at theGdynia Sports Arena inGdynia.[12][13] The 24 teams were drawn into six groups of four teams. The hosts Poland were automatically seeded into Pot 1 and assigned to position A1, while the remaining 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), and with five bonus points added to each of the 6 continental champions from the qualifying tournaments, as follows:[14]
