After a dreamlike start, Argentina advances to a Round of 16 clash against Niger in the 2023 U20 World Cup. Under the guidance of Javier Mascherano, Argentina enters as one of the favorites, but they cannot afford to rest on past achievements against a team that has already demonstrated strong sporting values and surprising resilience.
Argentina topped Group A, finishing ahead of a tight pack that included New Zealand, Uzbekistan, and Guatemala. They collected all nine points, endured tough moments, and emerged with momentum that energized the entire nation. With confidence at an all‑time high, the team eyes its seventh youth world title in this cycle of the tournament.
The Africans arrive as the best third-placed team from a group where Brazil and Italy finished above them. In a show of heart, Nigeria defeated the Dominican Republic and Italy, and only slipped to the lower tier by a marginal goal difference.
