What TV channel is the Under-20 World Cup on in the UK?

FOOTBALL’S most talented youngsters will be heading to Argentina THIS month to participate in the highly-anticipated Under-20 World Cup – and it is not to be missed.

Vladyslav Supryaha’s double and Heorhiy Tsitaishvili’s late strike was enough to see Ukraine lift the trophy in 2019.

But the champions will not have the chance to defend their title having failed to qualify.

And this opens the door for the Young Lions to recreate their 2017 achievement.

But serial winners Argentina will be tipped to scupper the Young Lions’ chances – who would have missed out on qualification had it not been for them hosting the tournament.
