The 2024 CONCACAF Under-20 Championship is scheduled to be the 8th edition of the CONCACAF Under-20 Championship (29th edition if all eras included), the men's under-20 international football tournament organized by CONCACAF. It will be held in Mexico, in the cities of Celaya and Irapuato, from 18 July to 4 August 2024. [1]
The tournament features a reduction in the number of participating teams following the format changes adopted by CONCACAF in February 2023. It will be contested by 12 teams instead of the 20 that participated in previous editions. [2]
Same as previous editions, the tournament will act as the CONCACAF qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 World Cup. The top four teams of the tournament (the four semi-finalists) will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Chile as the CONCACAF representatives.
The United States are the three-time defending champions.
In February 2023, CONCACAF announced format changes for its youth competitions approved by its Council. The following changes were adopted for the U-17 and U-20 Championships compared to previous editions: [2]
The tournament is divided into two stages: the group stage and the knockout stage. [3] The group stage will feature twelve teams, including the six top-ranked teams that qualified directly and the six teams that qualified via the qualifying round. The twelve teams were split into three groups of four, and will compete in a single round-robin. Eight teams, the top two teams of each group and the two-best third-placed teams, will advance to the knockout stage which will be played on a single-elimination format and will consist of the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final. The quarter-finals winners will advance to the semi-finals and will qualify for the 2025 FIFA U-20 World Cup. The semi-finals winners will play the final to determine the champion.
Mexico was appointed as the host country for the tournament by CONCACAF on 26 February 2024 with the Estadio Miguel Alemán Valdés in Celaya and the Estadio Sergio León Chávez in Irapuato as the venues, both located in the state of Guanajuato. [1] [4]
