The 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup will take place from May 20 to June 11 after a very controversial situation with the original host country. Indonesia was supposed to welcome the 23rd edition of the soccer tournament, but, after protesting Israel's participation, a historic decision was made. Argentina is the new host nation.
Though the famous Albiceleste couldn't clinch their ticket through the CONMEBOL qualifiers, their emergence as host gave them a place in the U-20 World Cup as one of the 24 participants. They're the winningest squad in the competition with six titles.
