Colombia has been appointed to host the Under-20 World Cup of 2011. The South American nation was chosen over neighbours Venezuela.
This was announced by world governing body FIFA in Sydney, Australia this Tuesday.
Since the first edition of this tournament, it was hosted by South American countries only twice.
Chile welcomed the world’s most talented youth players in 1987 and Argentina did so in 2001.
Next year, the tournament will be played in Egypt.
