Argentina will host the 2023 Sub 20 World Cup
Following the withdrawal of Indonesia as tournament host, the AFA named Argentina as a possible replacement. Publicly at least, there was no news of other countries being signed up as possible venues, so Argentina’s choices were very solid.
Especially when you consider that in terms of stadiums, Argentina has the necessary infrastructure to host a tournament of this type. In reality, Indonesia was going to do it with only six stadiums as venues, of which two were over 50,000 in capacity and the rest were between 20,000 and 30,000.
The options were gaining strength as the hours passed and this Thursday, March 30, Gastón Edul reported that the World Cup will indeed be held in Argentina. The Sporting News can confirm such information.. The official announcement would come over the weekend.
