The Argentine national team Under 20 must face the so-called “group of death” in the Venezuela South American Tournament 2025where he will join Zone B along with two difficult rivals, Brazil and Colombia.
As this competition was going to be held in Peru, due to the change of venue to Venezuela, Argentina went from integrating Zone A to Zone B to move to Chile in its place, since the hosts will be seeded in their group.
In this way, the Argentine team now led by Diego Placente after the departure of Javier Mascherano Inter Miami will share Zone B with Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia.
The South American Championship in Venezuela will be played between January 23 and February 16 of next year and will distribute four places for the 2025 World Cup in Chile.
What happened to Peru and its intention to organize the tournament
Almost a month ago, Peru lost the venue of the South American Sub 20 that will take place in 2025 due to the crisis that the Peruvian Football Federation is going through after the arrest of its president, Agustín Lozano.
The crisis in the Peruvian Football Federation broke out a week ago, when the president of the entity, Agustín Lozano, was arrested along with other leaders for allegedly being linked to the criminal organization “Los Galacticos.” Other accusations were for fraud in the administration, money laundering and even corruption.
This is not the first time that an important tournament in the Under 20 category loses its venue. The same thing happened last year, after FIFA moved the World Cup from Indonesia to Argentina, due to protests over Israel’s participation and the lack of guarantees from the Asian country’s government.
