Overview

• Mexico U-20 kicks off Sunday at Estadio Nacional in Santiago at 17:00 CDMX against Brazil in Group C.
• Group C includes Spain and Morocco, with Mexico facing Spain on October 1 and closing versus Morocco on October 4 in Valparaíso.
• A victory would leave Mexico well placed for the round of 16, while a draw or loss would keep qualification in play with less margin.
• Group matches are settled in regulation time only, and the knockout field comprises the top two from each group plus the four best third-place teams.
• Argentina, coached by Diego Placente, named a squad featuring Gianluca Prestianni but missing club-withheld talents such as Franco Mastantuono and Claudio Echeverri, and opens Group D against Cuba in Valparaíso at 20:00 Argentina time.
