Senegal vs Japan: preview
Senegal
Senegal’s best performance so far at the U20 World Cup came in 2015, when they finished fourth in New Zealand. The Young Lions of Teranga head to Argentina as continental champions, having won the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in March - a triumph that also earned them their place at the World Cup. Senegal’s 2-0 final win over Gambia, their most recent outing, was their 11th straight victory in all competitions.
Japan
U20 World Cup runners-up in 1999, Japan qualified thanks to their performance at the 2023 U20 Asian Cup in Uzbekistan, where the Samurai Blue reached the semi-finals. After consecutive last-16 exits at the World Cup, the Japanese are aiming to go beyond the opening knockout stage for the first time in 20 years.
