, applied to host the tournament that it already organized in 2001 and had the support of the Conmebol holder,

, who along with Claudio Tapia held a meeting with Infantino in which progress was made on the possible agreement.

"Infantino knows that Argentina has my vote. Because it was proposed, because I believe in its potential and because you have to have everything ready for May. They have it," added Alejandro Domínguez, head of Conmebol.

Peru also had the same intentions as the AFA, as did Qatar, which belongs to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) like Indonesia.

However, for these hours, they did not present the application credentials.

The conclave between Infantino, Domínguez and Tapia also served to shore up the South American candidacy for the organization of the 2030 World Cup, which has Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile as hosts.

South America, in the case of the 2030 World Cup, has strong competition since Spain, Portugal and Morocco officially launched their candidacy and the economic power of Saudi Arabia could also be added.

Those classified for the Sub 20

The Argentine National Team did not qualify for the tournament that will be played between May 20 and June 11.

However, if he becomes a host, he will automatically get the place and occupy the place that Indonesia had secured until yesterday.

In that case, Tapia will have to speed up to find a coach, since Javier Mascherano decided to step aside after the failure in the South American Sub 20. The main candidate is Mascherano himself, who would have already received calls from the head of the AFA and from Lionel Scaloni to review his determination and remain in office. 

The other teams that will participate in the World Cup are: Brazil, Fiji, England, New Zealand, Colombia, France, Iraq, Dominican Republic, South Korea, Gambia, Israel, Senegal, Ecuador, Guatemala, Italy, Tunisia, Slovakia, Honduras, Japan , Uruguay, the United States, Nigeria and Uzbekistan.
