Brazil started their journey in the South American U-20 Championship by conceding 6 goals to Argentina. Later, they also lost in the group stage match against Colombia.

The Brazilian youth team has won three consecutive matches with great skill and is currently at the top of the final round.
Today, Brazil defeated Paraguay 3-1. At the same time, Argentina also confirmed their victory by defeating Colombia 1-0. With this victory, Brazil and Argentina have secured their place in the U-20 World Cup, which will be held in Chile in September.
After three matches, Brazil and Argentina are tied on 9 points, but Brazil is ahead on goal difference. Initially, Colombia, considered one of the title contenders, lost to Brazil and Argentina in the final round.
