The2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 23rd 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 official match ball used in the tournament wasAdidas Oceaunz.
The tournament was held inArgentina, who had previously hosted in2001. Indonesia had originally been set to host the competition, having been hosts of the cancelled2021 edition, but their hosting rights were stripped on 29 March 2023 due to their refusal to hostIsrael.
Reigning championsUkraine could not defend their title as they failed to qualify. In doing so, they became the seventh consecutive incumbent title holders to fail to qualify for the subsequent tournament. HostsArgentina were knocked out in the round of 16 after three wins in the group stage following a two-nil loss toNigeria.Uruguay defeatedItaly in thefinal, becoming champions for the first time. It was the country's first world title since theirmen's senior side won the1950 FIFA World Cup.
Five bids to host the original 2021 tournament were submitted in 2019,[3] and Indonesia was announced as the winning bidder on 24 October 2019.[4] In December 2020, the 2021 event was postponed until 2023, with Indonesia remaining as host.[5]
However, Indonesia was stripped of hosting rights on 29 March 2023 due to its refusal to allow theIsrael U-20 national team in the country.[6] Peru, Argentina and Qatar confirmed their interest in hosting the tournament.[7] On 30 March, Argentina became the only country to submit an official bid.[8][9]
On 17 April 2023, at a press conference jointly held by economy ministerSergio Massa, tourism and sports ministerMatías Lammens, and the president of theArgentine Football Association (AFA),Claudio Tapia, it was announced that Argentina would host the tournament,[10] followed shortly after by a statement from FIFA confirming Argentina as the new hosts.[11]
A total of 24 teams qualified for the final tournament. Teams qualified from six continental competitions.
TheDominican Republic andIsrael made their debut in the competition; this was the Dominican Republic's first-ever qualification for a FIFA tournament. Having qualified for the1970 FIFA World Cup via the Asian qualification, this was the first FIFA tournament for which Israel qualified as a European representative.
Argentina qualified for the tournament as the host country in place of Indonesia, even though they originally had failed to qualify through the2023 South American U-20 Championship. Indonesia had also failed to qualify for the competition and lost its automatic spot in the WC when the tournament was moved to Argentina.
La Plata,Mendoza,San Juan andSantiago del Estero were the four cities chosen to host the competition.

By finishing second in the2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Israel qualified to the U-20 World Cup for the first time in history. However, Israel's participation is subject to political controversy due to Indonesia having the world's largest Muslim population and the two countries having noformal relations owing to theIsraeli–Palestinian conflict.[27] Given this, Indonesian Minister of Youth and SportsZainudin Amali stated that FIFA required any country qualified for the U-20 World Cup shall play, and that the local security officers will provide security for the Israeli team.[28]
Despite attempts to confirm Israel's participation, Israel's involvement led to Indonesia coming under scrutiny by various pro-Palestinian organisations.[29] Various Islamist organisations in Indonesia have threatened Israeli players, stating that the Israeli team is not welcome in Indonesia.[citation needed][30] MeanwhileNahdlatul Ulama figures such as its leader,Yahya Cholil Staquf and Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs,Yaqut Cholil Qoumas voiced support for Israel's participation.[31]
Initially, six regional governmental heads (the Governor ofJakarta, Mayor ofSurabaya, Governor of West Java forBandung, Mayor ofSolo, Governor of Bali forGianyar, Bali, and the Governor of South Sumatra forPalembang) signed the original agreement on willingness to be the host for the world cup.[32] However, the Governor of Bali,I Wayan Koster as well as the Governor ofCentral Java (where Solo is located),Ganjar Pranowo, both members of the ruling partyPDIP, subsequently stated their objection of hosting the Israeli team, citing 'anti-colonial' stances ofSukarno rather than religious ones.[33]
The Palestinian Ambassador to IndonesiaZuhair Al-Shun said that his country has no objections to Indonesia's hosting of the tournament, despite Israel's qualification.[34]
On 28 March 2023,Indonesian PresidentJoko Widodo, in a break with his party, voiced his own support to Israeli participation, and implored his people to not mix politics and sport.[35][36] The Mayor of Solo,Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Joko Widodo's son, expressed disappointment with the governor's decision and willingness to hold match draw inSolo,[37] andBandung.[38] A last minute effort was made to rescue Indonesia's role as host while still acknowledging the country's concerns, but on 29 March, FIFA officially stripped Indonesia as host for the tournament, stating "current circumstances" as the reasoning without specifying the details.[6]
