The 2025 U20 World Cup group draw was announced! Brazil and Spain staged a youth showdown, and Italy and Argentina meet again

On May 30, the results of the 2025 Chile U20 World Cup group draw were officially released, and the grouping situation of 24 young troops sparked heated discussions around the world. Brazil and Spain, the traditional tycoons, were divided into Group C, while Italy and Argentina, the old opponents in World Cup history, will meet in Group D. This collision of youth storm is not only a contest of tactics and talent, but also carries the inheritance and innovation of football culture.

1. Highlights of lottery draw: Death Group and Fellowship Confrontation

Group C: Brazil vs Spain - the ultimate collision between the European system and South American spirituality

Brazil, as the runner-up of the South American Youth Championship (), has cultivated many potential new stars with the compound model of "street football + club youth training", such as the penalty area killer Enderick (has won 2 goals in the group stage).

Spain continues the teamwork style of Lamacia's academic teamwork, and the midfield commander Yamal's technical style of play is highly anticipated.

The historical confrontation between the two teams is full of drama: the "no winning streak" of the adult team's friendly match in the past decade continued (2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses), and the last two confrontations at the U20 level ended with draws (2011, 2007).

Group D: Italy vs Argentina - The interweaving of new stars and old hatreds

The adult teams between Italy and Argentina have met five times in the World Cup, including a classic showdown in the 1990 semi-final penalty shootout. The U20 encounter is not only a replay of historical rivals, but also a stage for the rise of new generation players.

Argentina U20 previously swept Brazil 6-0 in the South American qualifiers, and the core scorer Echeviri (5 goals) was in a hot state; Italy faced the problem of team formation - Serie A club may play as a "professional substitute + main reserve team" due to the lack of letting go of people at the beginning of the season.

Other focus groups: The confrontation between the United States and France in Group E may become a textbook showdown of speed and strength; the "dark horse battle" between Colombia, Nigeria and other powerful teams in Group F is also full of highlights.

Can the scattered goal mode of center David and defender Igor be transformed into team firepower?

Spain: A new generation experiment of ball control philosophy

Italy and Argentina: The experimental field of tactical innovation

In the training list released by Italian U20 coach Coladi, all of them are "Level 06" players ( ), focusing on younger generations; while Argentina relies on local elites such as Echeviri to try to replicate the successful model of "team collaboration + personal flash" of the adult team ( ).
