Looking ahead to this Wednesday’s game, where the youth national team will play again after 18 years, review what the history is like.
The Argentine national team will face this Wednesday with Colombia in the semifinals of the Under 20 World Cupwhich represents the return of the “Albiceleste” to that instance after 18 years.
Throughout its history, the Argentina U-20 team was one of the great protagonists in the World Cups and she is even the top winner, with six conquests (1979, 1995, 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2007). However, in recent years it had lost a lot of prominence.
The last time the Under 20 played the semifinals of a World It was in the edition of 2007, when they beat 3-0 Chili with goals from Ángel Di María, Claudio Yacob and Maximiliano Moralez.
The balance of the Argentine national team in the semifinals of the Under 20 World Cup is very positive, since he won in that instance on seven occasions, while he only lost in 2003 against Brazil (1-0).

- Japan 1979: 2-0 to Uruguay
- Mexico 1983: 1-0 to Poland
- Qatar 1995: 3-0 to Spain
