The 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup was a major international football tournament for young male players. It is held every two years by FIFA, the world's football governing body. This was the 23rd time the tournament took place, starting way back in 1977.
The tournament happened in Argentina, a country that also hosted it in 2001. Originally, Indonesia was supposed to host it. However, their hosting rights were changed on March 29, 2023. This happened because they decided not to host the Israeli team.
Ukraine, who won the previous tournament, could not play this time. They did not qualify for the 2023 event. The host team, Argentina, played well in the group stage. However, they were knocked out in the Round of 16. The final match was on June 11, 2023. Uruguay played against Italy and won. This made Uruguay champions for the very first time!
