The 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 23rd edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of FIFA, since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. The official match ball used in the tournament was Adidas Oceaunz.

The tournament was held in Argentina, who had previously hosted in 2001. Indonesia had originally been set to host the competition, having been hosts of the cancelled 2021 edition, but their hosting rights were stripped on 29 March 2023 due to their refusal to host Israel.

Reigning champions Ukraine could not defend their title as they failed to qualify. In doing so, they became the seventh consecutive incumbent title holders to fail to qualify for the subsequent tournament. Hosts Argentina were knocked out in the round of 16 after three wins in the group stage following a two-nil loss to Nigeria. The final was held on 11 June 2023, and Uruguay defeated Italy to become champions for the first time. It was the country's first world title since the men's senior in the 1950 FIFA World Cup.

Qualified teams

A total of 24 teams qualified for the final tournament. Teams qualified from six continental competitions.

The Dominican Republic and Israel made their debut in the competition; this was the Dominican Republic's first-ever qualification for a FIFA tournament. Having qualified for the 1970 FIFA World Cup via the Asian qualification, this was the first FIFA tournament for which Israel qualified as a European representative.

Argentina qualified for the tournament as the host country in place of Indonesia, even though they originally had failed to qualify through the 2023 South American U-20 Championship. Indonesia had also failed to qualify for the competition and lost its automatic spot in the WC when the tournament was moved to Argentina.

Squads

{{main|2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup squads}}

Players born between 1 January 2003 and 31 December 2007 (inclusive) were eligible to compete in the tournament.

Each team had to name a preliminary squad of between 22 and 50 players. From the preliminary squad, the team had to name a final squad of 21 players (three of whom must be goalkeepers) by the FIFA deadline. Players in the final squad could be replaced by a player from the preliminary squad due to serious injury or illness up to 24 hours prior to kickoff of the team's first match.{{cite web|url=https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/7196f9fa6aa165c7/original/Regulations-for-the-FIFA-U-20-World-Cup-Indonesia-2023.pdf|title=Regulations – FIFA U-20 World Cup Indonesia 2023|website=FIFA.com|publisher=Fédération Internationale de Football Association|access-date=10 November 2022|archive-date=10 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221110093508/https://digitalhub.fifa.com/m/7196f9fa6aa165c7/original/Regulations-for-the-FIFA-U-20-World-Cup-Indonesia-2023.pdf|url-status=live}}

In the next stage, the four third-placed teams were matched with the winners of groups A, B, C, and D according to the tournament regulations.

Knockout stage

In the knockout stage, if a match was level at the end of 90 minutes of normal playing time, extra time was played (two periods of 15 minutes each). If still tied after extra time, the match would be decided by a penalty shoot-out.

In the round of 16, the four third-placed teams were matched with the winners of groups A, B, C, and D. The specific match-ups involving the third-placed teams depended on which four third-placed teams qualified for the round of 16:

By finishing second in the 2022 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, Israel qualified to the U-20 World Cup for the first time in history. However, Israel's participation is subject to political controversy due to Indonesia having the world's largest Muslim population and the two countries having no formal relations owing to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.{{cite web |url=https://jakartaglobe.id/news/we-will-always-stand-by-palestinians-indonesia |access-date=26 June 2022 |title=We Will Always Stand by Palestinians: Indonesia |website=Jakarta Globe |via=Antara News Agency |date=24 December 2021 |archive-date=26 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220626155258/https://jakartaglobe.id/news/we-will-always-stand-by-palestinians-indonesia |url-status=live }} Given this, Indonesian Minister of Youth and Sports Zainudin Amali stated that FIFA required any country qualified for the U-20 World Cup shall play, and that the local security officers will provide security for the Israeli team.{{cite web|url=https://en.antaranews.com/news/236381/israeli-national-team-can-visit-indonesia-for-u-20-world-cup|title=Israeli national team can visit Indonesia for U-20 World Cup|website=AntaraNews.com|first1=Michael|last1=Siahaan|first2=Nabil|last2=Ihsan|editor-first1=Rahmad|editor-last1=Nasution|publisher=Antara News Agency|access-date=27 June 2022|date=27 June 2022|archive-date=27 June 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220627120835/https://en.antaranews.com/news/236381/israeli-national-team-can-visit-indonesia-for-u-20-world-cup|url-status=live}}

Despite attempts to confirm Israel's participation, Israel's involvement led to Indonesia coming under scrutiny by various pro-Palestinian organisations.{{cite web |url=https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220628-indonesia-slammed-for-allowing-israel-to-take-part-in-u-20-world-cup/ |title=Indonesia slammed for allowing Israel to take part in U-20 World Cup |date=28 June 2022 |website=MiddleEastMonitor.com |access-date=26 September 2022 |archive-date=26 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220926194713/https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20220628-indonesia-slammed-for-allowing-israel-to-take-part-in-u-20-world-cup/ |url-status=live }} Various Islamist organisations in Indonesia have threatened Israeli players, stating that the Israeli team is not welcome in Indonesia.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}{{cite web|last1=Noveanto|first1=Eric|url=https://www.goal.com/id/berita/israel-piala-dunia-u-20-indonesia/bltcde26b36fe661c40|title=Israel Lolos Ke Piala Dunia U-20 Di Indonesia, Bagaimana Respons PSSI & Pemerintah?|trans-title=Israel qualified for the U-20 World Cup in Indonesia, how the PSSI and government respond it?|work=Goal.com|date=26 June 2022|access-date=26 September 2022|archive-date=26 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220926194715/https://www.goal.com/id/berita/israel-piala-dunia-u-20-indonesia/bltcde26b36fe661c40|url-status=live}} Meanwhile Nahdlatul Ulama figures such as its leader, Yahya Cholil Staquf and Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs, Yaqut Cholil Qoumas voiced support for Israel's participation.{{cite news |last=Pebriyanto |first=Fajar |title=Indonesian Minister: Israeli Football Team's Visit Not Linked to Religious Issues |work=tempo.co |date=15 February 2023 |url=https://en.tempo.co/amp/1706634/indonesian-minister-israeli-football-teams-visit-not-linked-to-religious-issues |access-date=31 March 2023 |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331123118/https://en.tempo.co/amp/1706634/indonesian-minister-israeli-football-teams-visit-not-linked-to-religious-issues |url-status=live }}

Initially, six regional governmental heads (the Governor of Jakarta, Mayor of Surabaya, Governor of West Java for Bandung, Mayor of Solo, Governor of Bali for Gianyar, Bali, and the Governor of South Sumatra for Palembang) signed the original agreement on willingness to be the host for the world cup.{{cite news |last=Ikhsan |first=Harley |title=6 Kepala Daerah Ikut Tanda Tangan Kesediaan Jadi Tuan Rumah Piala Dunia U-20, Kenapa Belakangan Ada yang Tolak Kehadiran Israel? |work=liputan6.com |date=26 March 2023 |url=https://www.liputan6.com/amp/5242944/6-kepala-daerah-ikut-tanda-tangan-kesediaan-jadi-tuan-rumah-piala-dunia-u-20-kenapa-belakangan-ada-yang-tolak-kehadiran-israel |language=id |access-date=31 March 2023 |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331090554/https://www.liputan6.com/amp/5242944/6-kepala-daerah-ikut-tanda-tangan-kesediaan-jadi-tuan-rumah-piala-dunia-u-20-kenapa-belakangan-ada-yang-tolak-kehadiran-israel |url-status=live }} However, the Governor of Bali, I Wayan Koster as well as the Governor of Central Java (where Solo is located), Ganjar Pranowo, both members of the ruling party PDIP, subsequently stated their objection of hosting the Israeli team, citing 'anti-colonial' stances of Sukarno rather than religious ones.{{Cite news |editor-first=Mochamad |editor-last=Sadheli |date=24 March 2023 |title=Ganjar Pranowo Tolak Israel, 2 Gubernur "Melawan" Halaman all |url=https://www.kompas.com/sports/read/2023/03/24/16200018/ganjar-pranowo-tolak-israel-2-gubernur-melawan |access-date=28 March 2023 |website=KOMPAS.com |language=id |archive-date=28 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230328031144/https://www.kompas.com/sports/read/2023/03/24/16200018/ganjar-pranowo-tolak-israel-2-gubernur-melawan |url-status=live }}

The Palestinian Ambassador to Indonesia Zuhair Al-Shun said that his country has no objections to Indonesia's hosting of the tournament, despite Israel's qualification.{{cite news |title=Palestinian envoy unnerved by Israeli participation in U-20 World Cup hosted by Indonesia |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/world/2023/03/15/palestinian-envoy-unnerved-by-israeli-participation-in-u-20-world-cup-hosted-by-indonesia.html |access-date=29 March 2023 |work=The Jakarta Post |date=16 March 2023 |archive-date=29 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329225456/https://www.thejakartapost.com/world/2023/03/15/palestinian-envoy-unnerved-by-israeli-participation-in-u-20-world-cup-hosted-by-indonesia.html |url-status=live }}

On 28 March 2023, Indonesian President Joko Widodo, in a break with his party, voiced his own support to Israeli participation, and implored his people to not mix politics and sport.{{cite news |title=Clash over Israel costs RI U-20 |work=The Jakarta Post |date=30 March 2023 |url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/amp/indonesia/2023/03/30/clash-over-israel-costs-ri-u-20.html |access-date=31 March 2023 |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331090556/https://www.thejakartapost.com/amp/indonesia/2023/03/30/clash-over-israel-costs-ri-u-20.html |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last1=Karimi |first1=Niniek |title=Indonesia's stance on Israel overshadows world soccer event |url=https://apnews.com/article/soccer-indonesia-israel-fifa-under20-world-cup-ec495d33dc7f6da030da60f5c51540d3 |website=APNews.com |publisher=Associated Press |access-date=30 March 2023 |archive-date=29 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329221107/https://apnews.com/article/soccer-indonesia-israel-fifa-under20-world-cup-ec495d33dc7f6da030da60f5c51540d3 |url-status=live }} The Mayor of Solo, Gibran Rakabuming Raka, Joko Widodo's son, expressed disappointment with the governor's decision and willingness to hold match draw in Solo,{{cite news |title=Gibran Sebut Solo Siap Gantikan Bali untuk Drawing Piala Dunia U-20 |work=olahraga |date=28 March 2023 |url=https://www.cnnindonesia.com/olahraga/20230328100701-142-930147/gibran-sebut-solo-siap-gantikan-bali-untuk-drawing-piala-dunia-u-20 |language=id |publisher=CNN Indonesia |access-date=31 March 2023 |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331092059/https://www.cnnindonesia.com/olahraga/20230328100701-142-930147/gibran-sebut-solo-siap-gantikan-bali-untuk-drawing-piala-dunia-u-20 |url-status=live }} and Bandung.{{cite news |last=Prada |first=Arif |title=Bandung siap jadi tuan rumah pengundian Piala Dunia U20 gantikan Bali |work=Antara News |date=28 March 2023 |url=https://www.antaranews.com/video/3459885/bandung-siap-jadi-tuan-rumah-pengundian-piala-dunia-u20-gantikan-bali |language=id |access-date=31 March 2023 |archive-date=31 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230331090611/https://www.antaranews.com/video/3459885/bandung-siap-jadi-tuan-rumah-pengundian-piala-dunia-u20-gantikan-bali |url-status=live }} A last minute effort was made to rescue Indonesia's role as host while still acknowledging the country's concerns, but on 29 March, FIFA officially stripped Indonesia as host for the tournament, stating "current circumstances" as the reasoning without specifying the details.
