2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup

(Redirected from 2009 FIFA World Youth Championship)

The 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup was the 17th edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, which was hosted by Egypt from 24 September to 16 October 2009.[1] The tournament was initially going to take place between 10 and 31 July.[2] However, the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup was played mid-year, resulting in both that year's U-20 and U-17 World Cups being played at the end of the year. The tournament was won by Ghana after they defeated Brazil on penalties in the final, becoming the first African team to win the tournament.[3]
