The 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Sub-20 de la FIFA Colombia 2011)


England national under-20 football team, also known as England Under-20s or England U20(s), represents England in association football at a under-20 age level and is controlled by the Football Association, the governing body for football in England. The current manager is Brian Eastick.
The 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Sub-20 de la FIFA Colombia 2011) is the eighteenth edition of the U-20 World Cup since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. Games are being played between 29 July and 20 August 2011.

At the executive committee meeting held in Sydney, Colombia beat the only other candidate Venezuela when it was announced on the 26th of May 2008.[1] It was suggested by the then Vice President, Francisco Santos Calderón, that it was needed to withdraw from the race with Brazil to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup so they could concentrate on hosting the "best possible games".[2]

In an inspection tour of development works in March 2010, Jack Warner, (then vice president of FIFA), said that the completion of this tournament could provide Colombia with a launch pad to become a possible host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In late 2009 the Colombian Football Federation unveiled the budget for conducting the event, to be COP 150 billion[4] (USD 75 million). On 30 September 2009, the presidents of both FIFA and Colombia announced that the logo would show a steaming cup of coffee with the colors of the Colombian tricolor.[5] An estimated 1,021,000 tickets have already been sold[citation needed], including a complete sell out of all matches that are to take place at the Estadio Nemesio Camacho in Bogota.
The FIFA U-20 World Cup, until 2005 known as the FIFA World Youth Championship, is the world championship of football for male players under the age of 20 and is organized by Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA). The Championship has been awarded every two years since the first tournament in 1977 held in Tunisia[1].

In the seventeen tournaments held, only eight nations have won the title. Argentina is the most successful team with six titles, followed by Brazil with four titles. Portugal won two titles, while Ghana, Germany, Spain, and formerly existing nations Soviet Union and Yugoslavia have won the title once each.

A corresponding event for women's teams, the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, began in 2002 with the name "FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship" and an age limit of 19. The age limit for the women's competition was changed to 20 beginning with the 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship, and the competition was renamed as a "World Cup" in 2007 in preparation for the 2008 event.
Flying Eagles of Nigeria next opponent England will fall, the coach of the Nigerian side John Obuh has said. According to him, after posting a hundred percent record in the competition after beating Saudi Arabia 2-0 weekend, his attention is now on the clash against England. "We are now looking forward to the England game after the match against a very good Saudi Arabia team.

We will win to qualify for the next stage of the World Cup even though we respect all the teams still left in the competition. Against Saudi Arabia, some of my players were observing the Ramadan fasting and this may have affected us."
The silver winning U-17 coach also said his boys would have scored more goals against the Saudis had they maintained the right attitude. "We also did not seem to have the right attitude for the game and tactically we were not up to scratch, but we made some changes and that brought life to the attack and that helped us to win the game."

Saudi Arabia coach, Khalid Alkoroni said his boys did not take advantage of the chances created early in the game. "We had a great chance in the first half but we could not convert it. Nigeria got theirs almost immediately after and they took it.

We will now face Brazil in the next match and insha Allah will give it our best shot."

Pacy winger and three goals hero, Ahmed Musa believes this U-20 team is good enough to go past England and far enough to win the World Cup. "We have a great team and after emerging as African champions, we are on target to becoming world champions."
