It will be the biggest single-sport event in Canadian history. Whenever you hear the words "World Cup", you know it's big.The FIFA U-20 World Cup is the second biggest competition FIFA (the soccer world's governing body) showcases. The only bigger competition is, of course, the FIFA World Cup, which was held last summer in Germany.
In this year's U-20 men's youth World Cup, players under the age of 20, representing 24 countries, will do battle over 52 games in six Canadian cities starting this Saturday until July 22. The cities include Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Victoria, Burnaby, and Edmonton.
The FIFA U-20 World Cup is run every two years. With a recent history of being hosted by relatively obscure soccer nations like the United Arab Emirates in 2003, Malaysia in 1997, and Qatar in 1995, FIFA tries to ensure soccer's alive and well all over the world. For a country like Canada, to host such an event is truly a chance of a lifetime. (keep reading)(photo:Pierre et Gilles)
