Editing U-20 World Cup

{{Interwiki/U-20 World Cup}}
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 15th 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]]. 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. Eighteen countries were or are being visited so far for the final rounds of the U-20 World Cup. [[Oceania]] has been visited once, [[Africa]] and [[South America]] twice each, [[North America]] and [[Asia]] thrice each, and [[Europe]] seven times.

Unlike the World Cup, the U-20 World Cup offers a lot of chances to motivated teams with a smaller user base or shorter history in Hattrick. Because players are only eligible until their 21st birthday, U-20 competition places a premium on organization and training, and there is very little carry-over from one competition to the next.

Eight countries have won the U-20 World Cup so far: [[Belgium]] and [[Nederland]] once, [[Italia]], [[Eesti]] and [[Norge]] twice, [[România]] and [[Sverige]] thrice, and [[Deutschland]] four times. [[Deutschland]] have won the most medals, seven. Sverige and Deutschland are the only countries 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.}}
