FIFA U-20 World Cup Chile 2025™ Draw Reveals Exciting Group Stage Matchups

SANTIAGO:
The stage is set for the FIFA U-20 World Cup Chile 2025™ following the official draw, which took place on Thursday, 29 May, at Chilevisión’s Machasa studios in the heart of the Chilean capital.

The draw, conducted by FIFA Director of Tournaments Jaime Yarza, mapped out the path to glory for all 24 participating nations, revealing the group-stage opponents and potential knockout routes for each team. Hosting duties for the ceremony were handled by Chilean journalist and presenter Javiera Naranjo, while FIFA Legend Juan Pablo Sorín and former Chilean international Gonzalo Jara lent their support as draw assistants.

This year’s tournament, the 24th edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup™, will run from 27 September to 19 October, featuring 52 matches played across four host cities: Santiago, Valparaíso, Rancagua, and Talca.

Home side Chile will kick off their campaign in Santiago against New Zealand, before taking on Japan and Egypt in what promises to be a competitive Group A. Former defender Gonzalo Jara, who helped Chile to back-to-back Copa América titles in 2015 and 2016, backed the young Chileans to shine on home soil.

“This Chile team has real quality. I believe they can top their group,” said Jara. “I wish the coach and players the very best—hopefully, they’ll make the country proud.”

Record six-time champions Argentina headline Group D, where they will face Italy, Australia, and Cuba. Fellow South American giants Brazil, five-time winners of the tournament, find themselves in a challenging Group C alongside Mexico, Morocco, and Spain—arguably the tournament’s ‘Group of Death’.

FIFA Legend Juan Pablo Sorín, who captained Argentina to U-20 World Cup glory in 1995, believes fans are in for a treat.

“I’m expecting a spectacular tournament,” Sorín said. “The groups are well balanced, but Group C stands out as particularly tough. The U-20 World Cup always delivers outstanding football, full of flair and technical brilliance—and I think this year will be no different.”

With the draw now complete, teams and fans alike can begin counting down to what promises to be an unforgettable month of youth football in Chile.
