Argentina will play on the opening day of the Under-20 World Cup on Saturday just over a month since it replaced Indonesia as tournament host and participant.

Four cities in Argentina will feature some of the sport's best young prospects while the South American nation is still celebrating Lionel Messi and his national team's 2022 World Cup triumph in Qatar.
