The2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 18thFIFA U-20 World Cup.Colombia hosted the tournament between 29 July and 20 August 2011, with matches being played in eight cities. The tournament was won byBrazil who claimed their fifth title.[1][2]
At a FIFA Executive Committee meeting held inSydney on 26 May 2008, Colombia beat the only other candidate country,Venezuela, for the right to organize the U-20 World Cup.[3] It was suggested by the then-Vice President of ColombiaFrancisco Santos Calderón that it was needed to withdraw from the race with Brazil to host the2014 FIFA World Cup so the nation could concentrate on hosting the "best possible games".[4]
In an inspection tour of development works in March 2010,Jack Warner, then the vice president of FIFA, said that the completion of this tournament could provide Colombia with a launch pad to become a possible host for the2026 World Cup. The official song of the tournament was "Nuestra Fiesta" byColombian singerJorge Celedón.[5]
The venues that were confirmed on 29 September 2010 are located inBogotá,Cali,Medellín,Manizales,Armenia,Cartagena,Pereira andBarranquilla.[6]
During an announcement about the ticketing procedures for Colombian residents, it was confirmed that the opening game would be held at theEstadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in Barranquilla, with theEstadio El Campín hosting the final match.[7]
In addition to host nation Colombia, 23 nations qualified from six separate continental competitions.
