Argentina kicks off their Group D campaign at the Chile 2025 U20 World Cup against Cuba U20, a matchup that pits South American heavyweights against Caribbean underdogs.
Cuba's history on this stage is sparse—they've only appeared once before, back in Turkey 2013, where they exited at the group stage. The island nation punched their ticket to Chile by reaching the semifinals of the 2024 Concacaf U-20 Championship and will be hungry to turn heads and spring an early upset.
For Argentina, this is familiar territory. The Albiceleste are making their 18th appearance at the FIFA U-20 World Cup and come into the tournament with serious pedigree. With seven previous campaigns as champions, Argentina has long been a powerhouse at this level. Last year, they suffered a stinging round-of-16 exit to Nigeria on home soil, a result they are keen to erase from memory.
Having clinched their spot in Chile by finishing second in the latest CONMEBOL U-20 Championship, Argentina arrives battle-tested and brimming with talent. The squad is loaded with players like Alvaro Montoro and Maher Carrizo, poised to showcase the next generation of Argentine footballing brilliance.

Cuba U20 team news
No major injury or suspension concerns have been reported for Cuba U20 ahead of this clash. Goalkeeper Yorlan Urgelles and defenders Norlys Chavez and Ricardo Polo are expected to lead the defensive line. Key midfielders include Romario Torres and Michel Camejo, who are expected to drive the team's attack alongside Alessio Raballo as the centre-forward.
Argentina U20 team news
The biggest talking point heading into Argentina's U20 campaign hasn't been tactics or talent—it's been the clubs. Several sides flat-out refused to release key youngsters like Franco Mastantuono and Claudio "Diablito" Echeverri, reminding everyone that this isn't a first-team competition and, ultimately, club bosses hold the power.
Still, Argentina isn't short of flair. One of the brightest names is Maher Carrizo, the 19-year-old right winger who has been electric for Velez Sarsfield, racking up 10 goals and an assist across 31 games in 2025. Add to that Gianluca Prestianni, already a senior figure at Benfica despite being just 18. The €9 million ($10.5m) signing has slotted into the Portuguese giants' squad with confidence, registering four goals and as many assists in 24 outings.
Meanwhile, Julio Soler is a face many European fans already recognize. Bournemouth shelled out €8 million ($9.4m) to prise him away from Lanus earlier this year, and he looks every bit the next in line from Argentina's endless production line of wonderkids. And then there's Alvaro Montoro, a creative midfielder who might just use this stage to catapult himself into stardom—Argentina's youth setups have always unearthed gems, and Montoro could well be the breakout name of this tournament.
