This is the fifth FIFA U-20 World Cup for Brazil who was champion in Mexico 83', Soviet Union 85', Australia 93' and Arab United Emirates 2003. Brazil is ranked as the second national team with best performance in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, after Argentina who has won 6 cups.


Portugal, who has won two FIFA U-20 World Cups, was Second. Mexico got third by defeating France 3 - 1, and due to a remarkable performance along the tournament. 


Some records.


In the FIFA U-20 World Cup Colombia 2011  1’309.929 spectator attended the 52 games. In Egypt 2009 they were 1’295.586 and 1’195 239 in Canada 2007.
Five goals were scored in the final game and three were scored by a single player.


But the best profit was for Colombia itself: We gained class-A stadiums, a new football (soccer) culture, upturn of turism, recovery of patriotism, expectations for a FIFA World Cup, better streets and roads, a country's good image, security enviroment and an international-level show.
