The high-anticipated Toulon tournament makes its return this year after the 2020 and 2021 editions were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The competition will get underway on May 29, with the final scheduled to take place two weeks later on June 12.
Historically, France, Brazil and England have been the most successful teams at the renowned youth competition, but both reigning champions Brazil and England (who won the tournament thre times in a row between 2016 and 2018) will be absent this time around.
There will be plenty of other exciting teams to look forward to, though, as Argentina are expected to include a number of Europe-based stars in their squad, including Manchester United wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho and Juventus' Matias Soule.
Illustrious names to have shone at the tournament in the past include the likes of David Ginola, Rui Costa, James Rodriguez, Javier Mascherano and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to name just a few.
