Overall team records

In this ranking 3 points are awarded for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss. As per statistical convention in football, matches decided in extra time are counted as wins and losses, while matches decided by penalty shoot-outs are counted as draws. Teams are ranked by total points, then by goal difference, then by goals scored.{{cite web|url=https://www.worldfootball.net/alltime_table/u20-h-wm|title=U20 World Cup » All-time league table|website=worldfootball.net|access-date=3 July 2021}}

Awards

At the end of each FIFA U-20 World Cup tournament, several awards are presented to the players and teams which have distinguished themselves in various aspects of the game.

There are four awards:

  • the Golden Ball (commercially termed "adidas Golden Ball") for best player assigned by members of the media;
  • the Golden Boot (commercially termed "adidas Golden Boot" for best scorer;
  • the Golden Glove Award (commercially termed "adidas Golden Glove" for the best goalkeeper assigned since 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup;
  • the FIFA Fair Play Trophy for the team that advanced to the second round with the best record of fair play;

=Golden Ball=

The Adidas Golden Ball award is awarded to the player who plays the most outstanding football during the tournament. It is selected by the media poll. Since the 2007 tournament, those who finish as runners-up in the vote receive the Silver Ball and Bronze Ball awards as the second and third most outstanding players in the tournament respectively.
