FIFA U-20 World Cup Trophy

The 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup is the twentieth edition of the U-20 World Cup since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. The competition takes place for the first time in New Zealand,[1] the third time on Oceanian soil after Australia staged the 1981 and 1993 editions. A total of 52 matches will be played in seven host cities.[2]

During the first meeting of the local organising committee in January 2013, provisional dates of June 19 to July 11 were given towards hosting of games, with a final decision on stadiums and cities originally meant to be taken in February 2013.[3] Two more postponements then followed.[4][5]

Before the stadium announcements were made, Dunedin City council suggested in January 2013[6] that it would not bid to host matches at Forsyth Barr Stadium unless the costs (an estimated $1m) could be lowered. But Davo paid for it so its all good.[7] The stadium will host seven matches there, the last of which being a Round of 16 game.[8]

France are the current champions, after beating Uruguay 4–1 in a penalty shootout in the previous edition's final. However, they will not be able to defend their title as they failed to reach the final round of the UEFA qualifying tournament.[9] In doing so, France became the fourth consecutive incumbent title holder to fail to qualify for the subsequent tournament (see FIFA U-20 World Cup records).

Host selection

On 3 March 2011, FIFA announced that the tournament would be held in New Zealand.[10] Four countries had officially announced their bids by the time of the deadline.[11]

Venues

Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Wellington and Whangarei are the 7 cities chosen to host the competition.[2]

Schedule and draw

The schedule of the tournament was unveiled on 20 November 2013.[12] The official emblem of the tournament was also unveiled on the same day.[13]

The final draw was held on 10 February 2015, 17:30 local time, at the SkyCity Grand, Auckland.[14][15] For the draw, the 24 teams were divided into four differing pots:[16]

  • Pot 1: Hosts and continental champions of five confederations (except OFC)
  • Pot 2: Remaining teams from AFC and CAF
  • Pot 3: Remaining teams from CONCACAF and CONMEBOL
  • Pot 4: Remaining teams from OFC and UEFA

As a basic principle, teams from the same confederation could not be drawn against each other at the group stage. As the CAF U-20 Championship was not completed at the time of the draw, a separate draw took place on 23 March 2015 in Dakar, Senegal, at the tournament's conclusion to determine the groups where the 2nd, 3rd and 4th placed CAF teams would play in, to ensure there was no manipulation of games in the qualifying tournament ensuring fairness to all qualified teams.[17][18]

Ticketing

Prior to being released for 'General sale' on June 13, 2014,[21] registered footballers in New Zealand were given 'priority treatment' by allowing them the option to buy tickets from two months earlier.[22]

In the first three months of tickets going on sale to residents, an estimated 25,000 have been sold.[23]

Mascot

The official mascot of the tournament, a black sheep named Wooliam, was unveiled on 30 November 2014.[24]

Squads

Main article: 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup squads

Each team must name a squad of 21 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline.[25] Players must be born on or after 1 January 1995.[25] The squads were officially announced by FIFA on 21 May 2015.[26][27]

Group stage

The winners and runners-up of each group and the best four third-placed teams advance to the round of 16.[25] The rankings of teams in each group are determined as follows:

  1. points obtained in all group matches;
  2. goal difference in all group matches;
  3. number of goals scored in all group matches;

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings are determined as follows:

  2. points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  5. drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

All times are local, New Zealand Standard Time (UTC+12).[28]
