Although the formal announcement remains, Infantino, Domínguez and the president of the AFA himself would have closed the agreement.
Argentina will officially be the organizing country of the next Sub 20 world which will begin on May 20 and end on June 11.
Although the formal announcement remains, the meeting held at this time by the president of the AFA, CLaudio Chiqui Tapia with the main leader of FIFA, Gianni Infantino and the head of Conmebol, Alejandro Domínguezwas “very positive” according to official sources, and the confirmation of the realization of the ecumenical event in our country is a fact.
It is worth remembering that the offer of the AFA quickly gained ground for a fundamental reason: to put the country as a showcase for the nomination for the World Cup 2030next to Chile, Uruguay and Paraguayan.
The Sub-20 Selection led by Javier Mascherano was eliminated in South American that was played in Colombia last January and could not qualify for the World Cup. After deletion, The “Little Boss” left office, but now Lionel Scaloni is trying to get him back.
The country has already hosted a Sub 20 world in the past: It was in 2001, under the technical direction of José Pekerman and with figures of the stature of Andrés D’Alessandro, Javier Saviola, Leandro Romagnoli, Maximiliano Rodríguez and Leonardo Ponzio. That team became champion by defeating Ghana 3-0 in the final.
