The 2000 winners of the Torneo di Viareggio (in English, the Viareggio Tournament, officially the Viareggio Cup World Football Tournament Coppa Carnevale), the annual youth football tournament held in Viareggio, Tuscany, are listed below.

Format

The 40 teams are seeded in 10 pools, split up into 5-pool groups. Each team from a pool meets the others in a single tie. The winning club from each pool and three best runners-up from both group A and group B progress to the final knockout stage. All matches in the final rounds are single tie. The Round of 16 envisions penalties and no extra time, while the rest of the final round matches include 30 minutes extra time with Golden goal rule and penalties to be played if the draw between teams still holds. Semifinal losing teams play 3rd-place final with penalties after regular time. The winning sides play the final with extra time, no Golden goal rule and repeat the match if the draw holds. ^[1]

Notes

1. "2000 Viareggio Rules" (in Italian). Retrieved March 12, 2012.
2. In the tournament presentation Udoji United is mentioned as the team participating from Nigeria, while in non-official statistics it is substituted with Delta Force, another Nigerian team. Further confusion comes from the fact that in the official tournament statistics the team is not mentioned and Esperia Viareggio Italian local club is reported to have participated in the matches.
