The 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Sub-20 de la FIFA Colombia 2011) is the eighteenth edition of the U-20 World Cup since its inception in 1977 as the FIFA World Youth Championship. Games will be played between 29 July and 20 August 2011.
At the executive committee meeting held in Sydney, Colombia beat the only other candidate Venezuela when it was announced on the 26th of May 2008.[1] It was suggested by the then Vice President, Francisco Santos Calderón, that it was needed to withdraw from the race with Brazil to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup so they could concentrate on hosting the best possible games.[2]
In an inspection tour of development works in March 2010, Jack Warner, (then vice president of FIFA), said that the completion of this tournament could provide Colombia with a launch pad to become a possible host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[3]
Organization
In late 2009 the Colombian Football Federation unveiled the budget for conducting the event, to be COP 150 billion[4] (USD 75 million). On 30 September 2009, the presidents of both FIFA and Colombia announced that the logo would show a steaming cup of coffee with the colors of the Colombian tricolor.[5] An Estimated 800,000 tickets has already been sold[6], including a complete sell out of all matches that are to take place at the Estadio Nemesio Camacho in Bogota.[7][7][8]
Opening Ceremony

- Jorge Celedón
- Barranquilla's Carnival Performers
- Wayuu, Colombian dancer
- Checo Acosta

Venues
The venues that were confirmed on 29 September 2010 are located in Bogotá, Cali, Medellín, Manizales, Armenia, Cartagena, Pereira, and Barranquilla.[9]
During an announcement about the ticketing procedures for Colombian residents, it was confirmed that the opening game would be held at the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez in Barranquilla, with the Estadio El Campín hosting the final match.[10]
