Home > Football World Youth Championship


 

The Football World Youth Championship is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 20 and is organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association ( FIFA). Often, some of the biggest names in the sport make their first mark on the world's stage at this competition. These include Diego Maradona (1979), Davor Suker (1987), and Luis Figo (1991). The first edition was hosted by Tunisia in 1977 and was won by the Soviet Union. It has taken place in all odd-numbered years since, with Argentina and Brazil leading the way with four wins each.

A corresponding event for women's teams, the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship, began in 2002.
