2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup
The 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 24th 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. It was held in Chile from 27 September to 19 October 2025.
Reigning champions Uruguay could not defend their title as they finished fifth in the 2025 South American U-20 Championship. In doing so, they became the eighth consecutive title holders to fail to qualify for the subsequent tournament.
Morocco defeated Argentina to win their first FIFA tournament title. This was the fourth consecutive U-20 World Cup to produce a new winning team, dating back to 2017.
Chile were announced as the 2025 U-20 World Cup hosts following the FIFA Council meeting on 17 December 2023 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is believed the decision was made as a compensation for Chile losing hosting rights for the 2030 FIFA World Cup to Morocco, Portugal and Spain, as Chile was the only nation in the four-nation bid of Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay not included in the eventual outcome for the opening matches.
This was the second time that Chile hosted the tournament, after doing so in 1987. Only Australia (1981, 1993) and Argentina (2001, 2023) had also hosted the tournament multiple times.[citation needed]
On 18 December 2023, Pablo Milad, president of the Football Federation of Chile, revealed a preliminary list with 12 stadia in 10 cities. Milad also announced that between four and six stadia would be chosen by FIFA for the final tournament.
On 26 May 2025, four Central cities of Santiago, Rancagua, Valparaíso and Talca were announced chosen to host the competition.
A total of 24 teams qualified for the final tournament. In addition to Chile, who qualified automatically as the hosts, 23 other teams qualified through six separate continental competitions. The slot allocation remained unchanged from the previous editions and was confirmed by the FIFA Council on the same day the host country was announced.
