The expectation for the start of the Under-20 World Cup in the Argentine Republic is increasing. Next Saturday, in Santiago del Estero, the National Team led by Javier Mascherano will have its debut against Uzbekistan, but with the dream intact – despite not having qualified for sporting merit in the South American – and the wake of the third star achieved in Qatar 2022 by the Major, the public sold out the tickets available for the final, which will be held on Sunday, June 11 at the Ciudad de La Plata stadium.
The stage, baptized "Diego Armando Maradona" a couple of years ago, has capacity for 53,000 spectators, but many of those locations are absorbed by FIFA and the AFA as organizers to provide protocol income and special invitations.
Therefore, as they confided to Clarín from the company Deportick -in charge of ticket sales-, those that were sold out are the seats that had been put on sale in this first instance. It was in just one weekend, since the virtual sale opened last Saturday, with values for that decisive day of between $ 6000 and $ 8000,
What is not ruled out is that, in the coming weeks, FIFA and the AFA extend a remnant of tickets for sale to the general public, but during this Monday, the site does not allow the purchase of tickets in any of the locations available in the stadium "Diego Armando Maradona".
The particularity of that Sunday, June 11, is that the tickets will be worth both for the final for the title and for the match for third place, which will be played a few hours before. This modality also applies to group stage matches, since for each venue there will be at least two matches per day.

The competition will be animated by 24 selected youth representatives of the six football confederations, who will play 52 matches in four venues: the Estadio Único Madre de Ciudades de Santiago del Estero, the Bicentenario Stadium of San Juan, the Malvinas Argentinas of Mendoza and the Diego Armando Maradona of La Plata.
