That’s all. The Under 20 World Cup will be played in Argentina and the national team, which had lost the chance to play after not gaining a foothold in the South American category, has gone out of the window in the tournament which will be played from 20 to 11 May. on June.
Thus, and without wasting any more time than necessary, the Argentine Football Federation published this Tuesday evening the list of players called up to join the ranks of the team led by Javier Mascherano, who has reconsidered his decision to leave the job and will be the only one who manages a group with many figures who already play in European football.
Knowing that FIFA is forcing all clubs to drop their squad, the AFA has opened its umbrella and called up everyone who is able to play in the tournament. And they are all there: from Juan Gauto, the boy who shines in the Huracán, to Alejandro Garnacho, son of an Argentine who settled in Spain and who is already part of the Manchester United rotation, nobody is missing.
In addition to Europibes such as Luka Romero, the brothers Valentín and Franco Carboni, Nico Paz, Renzo Vega and Facundo Buonanotte, among others, Federico Redondo -son of the legendary Fernando-, Lucas Besozzi, from downtown Córdoba, and Franco Herrera, from Córdoba central. There is material to dream of the seventh.
Is that Argentina is the maximum world champion of the category with six titles obtained in 1979, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2007. Diego Maradona, Juan Román Riquelme, Pablo Aimar, Lionel Scaloni, Javier Saviola, Andrés D’Alessandro , Maximiliano Rodríguez, Lionel Messi, Ángel Di María and Sergio Agüero are some of the great crowned figures in the past.
The Sub 20 World Cup will be played by 24 countries divided into 6 groups. Qualifiers are: Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, South Korea, Ecuador, Slovakia, United States, Fiji, France, Gambia, Guatemala, Honduras, Nigeria, England, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Dominican Republic, Senegal , Tunisia, Uzbekistan and Uruguay.
