Officially going to the World Cup U-20 !

So exciting! Im officially going to the FIFA World Cup U-20 in August! As most people know, the World Cup 2010 was held in South Africa, and with every World Cup comes the World Cup U-20 (Under 20), and this year, it´s being hosted in Colombia! So last night my friend Sara and I went and bought our tickets to see two matches in August! The tickets are really cheap, only $33.000 pesos and that buys you 2 matches, so essentially it costs $7.50 CDN per match (for the first round of matches), not bad for FIFA World Cup Games.

Here is a map to show which countries will be taking part in the WC U-20 this year in Colombia:

Every segment or group of teams is being hosted in a different city. Here's a map with all of the cities in Colombia hosting the games:

Group F is being hosted in Medellín, so the matches I have tickets for is between Mexico vs Korea and Argentina vs England. Both should be good games, and Im really looking forward to attending them in August!

Here's some background on Colombia, football associations and FIFA:
"The Colombian Football Association (CFF) was founded in 1924 and was recognised internationally by FIFA in 1936. The Colombian national team took part in the FIFA World Cup™ final tournaments at Chile 1962, Italy 1990, USA 1994 and France 1998, though their biggest success came when winning the 2001 Copa America on home soil. As far as youth national teams are concerned, Colombia won bronze at the 2003 edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, as well as finishing fourth at the 2003 and 2009 editions of the FIFA U-17 World Cup. Among the greatest Colombian players of all time are Willington Ortiz, Carlos “El Pibe” Valderrama, Rene Higuita, Faustino Asprilla, Efrain “Caimán” Sanchez and Freddy Rincon, to name but a few of the gifted performers this country has produced."
