Winner’s Trophy
Designer Thomas Fattorini Ltd, Birmingham, UK Rebecca Cusack, Thomas R. Fattorini
Manufacturer Thomas Fattorini Ltd, Birmingham, UK
Description The new design for the FIFA U-20 World Cup was created to complement the family of FIFA trophies. The dynamic form of the clear acrylic shape hints at the fluidity and movement of the football between the two teams, which are referred to by the two upright curved supports. These hold up the globe in the shape of a football – a consistent feature amongst almost all of FIFA’s event trophies.
The overall elegant and pure appearance of the Official Trophy is characteristic of the nature of how the game is played particularly in this age group.
Year of design and manufacture 2011
Material Copper, brass alloy, acrylic, sterling silver, stainless steel, gold plate
Weight 5.1 kg
Height 48 cm
Base diameter 20 cm
Widest point 20 cm

Facts to know about the FIFA U-20 World Cup
The FIFA U-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015 will be the twentieth edition since its inception in 1977.
A total of 86 associations have taken part in the FIFA U-20 World Cup to date and 1991 even saw the
participation of a united Korean team.
For the 2015 competition there are three newcomers: Fiji, Myanmar and Senegal.
The FIFA U-20 World Cup again comes second only to the FIFA World Cup™ in terms of the volume of
matches. Since the inaugural tournament in Tunisia, 784 matches have been hosted under the auspices of the
FIFA U-20 World Cup. The FIFA U-20 World Cup UAE 2003 provided the backdrop for the 500th match when
Spain met Uzbekistan in Sharjah on 4 December 2003.
Since its inception in 1977, the FIFA U-20 World Cup has made stops in every confederation: Africa (three
times), Asia (five times), Oceania (twice in Australia – as from 2006 Australia became a member of AFC and
including the upcoming event: one time in New Zealand), North and Central America (twice), South America
(three times) and Europe (four times).
From the first FIFA U-20 World Cup in 1977 until 1995, the final competition comprised 16 teams. However,
to enhance the prestige of FIFA’s major youth competition, the number of contenders was increased from 16
to 24 from 1997 (AFC 4, CAF 4, CONCACAF 4, CONMEBOL 4, UEFA 6, OFC 1, hosts 1).
During the first two tournaments, the games only lasted 40 minutes each way (extra time was twice ten
minutes). Since Australia 1981, matches have followed the traditional format of 45 minutes per half (with 15
minutes per half in extra time).
The tournament has a reputation as a talent showcase, with 694 former FIFA U-20 World Cup players going
on to participate in the FIFA World Cup™. 32 of these players won the world title (BRA 12, ESP 10, ARG 5,
FRA 2, GER 2, ITA 1).
Fourteen players played in a FIFA World Cup™ final match, but only two players, Burruchaga (ARG, in 1986)
and Iniesta (ESP, in 2010) have scored.
For the fourth consecutive edition the champion of the previous tournament will not be able to defend its title.
France, winners in 2013, will be absent in New Zealand 2015. The same applied to Brazil in 2013 (champions
in 2011), Argentina in 2009 (titleholders in 2007) and Ghana in 2011 (victors in 2009). Teams in the past that
were also unable to defend their title include Germany FR (absent in 1983), Yugoslavia (1989) and Spain
(2001).
Brazil have contested the most FIFA U-20 World Cup matches (96), followed by Argentina and Spain (both
72).

History
The tournament began modestly in Tunisia in 1977, with the FIFA Technical Report bemoaning the paucity of
spectators. But by the early 1990s the competition had grown into an event of enormous importance with
worldwide media exposure. Securing a committed long-term sponsor was crucial to the realisation of a project
which João Havelange had promised to launch when he became FIFA President in 1974. Above all, however, the
competition’s success has always depended upon the particular flavour of the games: that added dash of youth,
spontaneity and adventure.
The inevitable teething problems experienced in Tunisia in 1977 were mostly solved at the second U-20 World
Cup in Japan in 1979, one of the first major international football events in that country, which helped to trigger
interest and enthusiasm for the sport there. The role of the FIFA U-20 World Cup as an “ambassador” to so-
called “developing” football countries continued in 1981 when it went to Australia for the first time. In 1983,
the event enjoyed its first major success in Mexico, a country steeped in football tradition where the final
between Brazil and Argentina drew a capacity crowd of 105,000.
The Soviet Union hosted the finals in 1985 while in 1987 it went to South
America for the first time when Chile played host.

Santiago de Chile in 1987. (Photo FIFA Archive)
In 1989 the state-of-the-art King Fahd Stadium on the outskirts of Riyadh was the spectacular setting for several
matches. The 1991 final saw even the 1983 attendance eclipsed when 127,000 – one of the largest crowd ever
to attend a FIFA match – crammed into Lisbon’s Stadium of Light to cheer the home team to a repeat of their
1989 victory.
In 1993 the Australians revived memories of the 1981 finals and surpassed them with a superbly organised
championship to which the young Socceroos made their own thrilling contribution. Latin football dominated
both the 1995 event in Qatar (which had taken over the role of hosts at barely three weeks’ notice after Nigeria
had been considered unable to stage the competition) and the 1997 tournament in Malaysia. Africa was still
unable to produce the winner in Nigeria 1999, although three CAF teams did make it to the last eight.
When an African representative (Ghana) finally made it to the final in 2001, it was the hosts, Argentina, who
won the day – their fourth FIFA U-20 World Cup title and a showcase for their budding star Saviola, the
tournament’s top scorer so far with 11 goals in 7 matches.
The United Arab Emirates provided the venue for the 2003 edition of the tournament and even threw the
tournament’s best player, Ismail Matar, into the bargain. A distinctive South American flavour permeated the
Arabian air as they secured three of the four semi-final slots. Colombia and Argentina took third and fourth
place respectively, while Brazil claimed their fourth FIFA U-20 World Cup against Spain, thus adding to their
triumphs at the 2002 FIFA World Cup™ and the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Cup and becoming world champions in
all age categories.
Communications & Public Affairs – Documentation Page 31 FIFA U-20 World Cup New Zealand 2015 – event edition
The semi-finals in 2005 featured two African and two South American teams: Morocco eventually lost to Brazil
in the play-off for third place, while Nigeria succumbed in the final against Argentina. The Argentines thus
claimed their fifth FIFA U-20 World Cup title, and in Lionel Messi, they also boasted the tournament’s best player
and top goalscorer with six strikes.
In 2007 for a second time on the trot, Argentina hoisted aloft the FIFA U-20 World Cup after a dazzling and
record-breaking month of football in Canada. In the final it was the Czechs who took the lead but Argentina hit
back and the defending champions secured a 2-1 victory just before the final whistle.
In 2009 the tournament records were rewritten, with more goals
than ever before, and an unprecedented number of fans turning
out to watch them. And there was an abundance of promising
talent on show. Yet, for Africa at least, Egypt 2009 will be not be
remembered for any of these achievements. Instead, it will go down
in history as the first time that a team from the mother continent
came, saw and conquered all at FIFA’s second-biggest tournament.
Ghana were the team to inscribe their name in folklore, and worthy
winners they were too (Photo on right: FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images).
Led by the tournament's top scorer and outstanding player, Dominic Adiyiah, the Black Satellites combined
strength and skill to devastating effect, scoring 16 times en route to the final. Even when the goals finally dried
up in the decider against Brazil, Sellas Tetteh’s side merely took that as the signal to display another essential
attribute of champions: character.
In the thrilling final in Colombia 2011 Portugal were just 12
minutes away from the title, when Brazilian youngster Oscar
scored to take the game into extra time before completing his hat-
trick leading his country to victory.

A high-quality FIFA U-20
World Cup Turkey 2013 threw the global spotlight on a number of
teams and a host of talented players. The broadest smiles at the end
were on French faces, as Les Bleus claimed the U-20 crown for the
first time after a nail-biting victory in the final. It also means France are
the first nation to win all five FIFA tournaments in men's 11-a-side
international football.

Awards
adidas Golden Boot / adidas Golden Ball The adidas Golden Boot award goes to the top goalscorer of the FIFA U-20 World Cup. Assists serve as a tie-breaker with the FIFA Technical Study Group deciding whether an assist is to be counted as such. The assists will only be counted if two or more players are equal on goals scored.
The U-20 world champions have managed to crown one of their own as top goalscorer on nine occasions: 1979 (Diaz in an Argentina side featuring Diego Maradona), 1983 (Geovani for Brazil), 1999 (Pablo for Spain), 2001, 2005 and 2007 (Saviola, Messi and Aguero, respectively, for Argentina), 2009 (Dominic Adiyiah for Ghana) and 2011 (Henrique for Brazil). In 1981, Australian Mark Koussas won the Golden Boot award in front of his home crowd.
The adidas Golden Ball is awarded to the most outstanding player.
adidas Golden Glove The Golden Glove goes to the most outstanding goalkeeper of the competition as selected by FIFA’s Technical Study Group (since 2009).
FIFA Fair Play Award The FIFA Fair Play award is given to the team with the best record of fair play according to the points system and criteria established by the FIFA Fair Play Committee.

Hat-tricks
Argentina’s Ramon Diaz and Javier Saviola have both scored two hat-tricks in the FIFA U-20 World Cup. This was topped by Brazilian Adailton’s rare double hat-trick during his team’s 10-3 victory over Korea Republic. Almost as impressively, Australia’s Salapasidis knocked in four goals in one match when his team defeated eventual champions Argentina 4-3 in 1997. Eight years later in 2005, Llorente of Spain equalled this feat, scoring four goals in their 7-0 victory over Chile.

Highest scoring matches
The two highest-scoring matches in the FIFA U-20 World Cup were held in Kuching (Malaysia) in 1997, with Brazil crushing Korea Republic 10:3 before inflicting a 10:0 defeat on Belgium. However, other than sealing the Golden Shoe for Adailton, the shower of goals reaped a meagre harvest, as Brazil were humbled in the quarter-finals by soon-to-be world champions and age-old rivals Argentina.
A nine-goal extravaganza put 1999’s quarter-final showdown between Mali and Cameroon in Enugu, Nigeria, in third place in the ranks, although in terms of entertainment the game was streets ahead. Mali knuckled down to come back from 3:1 down to defeat favourites Cameroon 5:4 in extra time.
Other action-packed games include the match between the Soviet Union and Nigeria in Dammam, Saudi Arabia in 1989. The youngsters from the Soviet Union were 4:0 up (thanks partly to a goal by subsequent World Cup striker Salenko) when the West Africans fired off a rapid four goals in 24 minutes and sneaked home via the back door thanks to a 5:3 penalty shoot-out victory.
In contrast, the Netherlands v. Honduras match in Qatar in 1995 met with an inglorious end. Following four sendings-off and an injury, the Central American side was decimated. With only six Hondurans left on the park, regulations required that the game be abandoned.
