The '''U-20 World Cup''' is an international tournament for [[National_team#U-20_national_teams|National Teams]]. A new U-20 World Cup campaign is started nearly as soon as the old campaign is completed, which takes two [[Season|seasons]]. The tournament is being held for the twelfth time currently.

The final rounds of a U-20 World Cup campaign are hosted by one nation. This nation is determined by the [[Hattrick_Team|HTs]]. [[U-20 World Cup XII]] will be held in [[Kenya]], the second [[Africa|African]] country organising the final rounds. The [[U-20 World Cup I|first U-20 World Cup]] was hosted in [[History#Season_16|season 16]] by [[Deutschland]], one season after the [[World Cup I|first World Cup]] had been played. The first U-20 World Cup started with the 40 top teams according to the ranking. The other 10 teams competed for a minor cup called [[Emerging Leagues U20 Cup]] at the same time. Twelve countries were or are being visited so far for the final rounds of the U-20 World Cup. [[Oceania]] and [[North America]] were both visited once, Africa, [[Asia]] and [[South America]] twice each and [[Europe]] four times.

Unlike the World Cup, the U-20 World Cup offers a lot of chances to motivated teams that don't have a big user base or aren't in Hattrick for many seasons. This is due to the fact that players in the U-20 are very young and have to be exchanged quite often in favour of younger ones. Thus each nation has to train new players all the time and they can't resort on their old glories.

Five countries managed to win the U-20 World Cup so far. Deutschland once, [[Eesti]] and [[Norge]] twice. [[RomÃ¢nia]] and [[Sverige]] were victorious thrice. Most medals, five, were won by Eesti. Sverige is the only country to have won two consecutive U-20 World Cups.

== Modus operandi ==
The qualification round starts with U-20 national teams from all countries that are a part of Hattrick at the start of the campaign.
{{From the manual|chapternr=22|chapterhead=National teams
|text=The world cup format

The World Cup begins every second season and starts with a qualification round. 32 teams advance from this round to the World Cup. There are three round-robin group stages, with 4 teams to a group and the top two teams qualifying for the next stage. The final two rounds are playoff matches, beginning with the semi-finals and culminating in the World Cup Final. The U-20 World Cup begins a season after the World Cup, and follows the same format.

Seeding for World Cup Round I is based on ranking, which is determined by previous World Cup results. When no World Cup matches are scheduled, the national teams can play friendlies.}}
