The official draw that will disclose the group phase teams at the 2023 FIFA Under-20 World Cup is expected to hold on Friday in Zurich, Switzerland.
The Bureau of the FIFA Council made this known while confirming the decision to have Argentina as hosts of the competition, scheduled for May 20 to June 11.
Nigeria’s Flying Eagles are one of Africa’s four representatives, with Senegal, The Gambia and Tunisia the other teams.
The original tournament hosts Indonesia were earlier removed, while a subsequent bid was submitted by the Argentinian Football Association.
An on-site inspection by a FIFA delegation to the South American country last week then followed. The delegation members visited the proposed tournament venues and associated infrastructure.
The hosting agreement has been signed by Argentinian Football Association, along with all other relevant documents on the part of the host and local authorities. The competition will feature six groups of four teams.
