★ In this article, we will break down the U-20 World Cup through the following topics:　↓↓↓

　

　

　

◆ Introduction

Hi there! I’m 『Yukidaruma』, the admin of this site! My goal is to build the “World’s Best Blue Lock Site,” and I’m pouring my absolute “Ego” into every single article I write!!

I mainly cover the latest chapters, volumes, deep-dive theories, character profiles, and detailed reviews—and I’ve already crossed the 300-article milestone!!

　

　

　

① What is the U-20 World Cup?

The U-20 World Cup marks the Third Phase of the project. In this tournament, the 23 survivors of the Second Phase—the Neo Egoist League (NEL)—will challenge the world as the official “U-20 Japan National Team.”

This massive tournament features a fierce battle among 64 countries, with a total of 128 thrilling matches scheduled across both the Group Stage (Qualifiers) and the Knockout Stage (Final Tournament)!

However… In Chapter 308, JFU President Hirotoshi Buratsuta dropped a massive bombshell statement: “The maximum roster limit for the U-20 World Cup is actually 26 players”!?

With the sudden unveiling of a mysterious system called the “Buratsuta 3,” the story takes an abrupt and dramatic turn!?

　

　

　

② Tournament Format & Regulations

The U-20 World Cup is split into two main stages: the Group Stage (Qualifiers) and the Knockout Stage (Final Tournament)!!

Combined, they make up a massive, ultra-scale tournament with a total of 128 matches!

Let’s dive straight into the details‼ ↓↓↓

　

▼ Group Stage (Qualifiers)

First up is the Group Stage‼ All 64 participating countries are divided into 16 groups of 4 teams each to play a round-robin tournament (every team plays each other once)!

The top 2 teams with the best records from each group will advance to the Knockout Stage!

▼ Knockout Stage

The 32 teams that successfully fight their way out of the Group Stage will move on to the single-elimination Knockout Stage‼ Unlike the Group Stage, this is where the white-knuckle, high-stakes action begins—if you lose once, you’re out! It appears this tournament will also feature a third-place play-off, meaning the final rankings will be clearly determined!

④ Overall Thoughts & Analysis

Since the U-20 World Cup Arc kicked off, the first 4 matches for each group in the qualifiers have finally wrapped up! It definitely feels like the heavyweight powerhouse nations are taking care of business and winning exactly as expected~

However, the only matches where we’ve actually gotten to see the in-depth details so far are Germany vs. Costa Rica (Group P) and the games in Group A, which features our very own Japan National Team (the Blue Lock Eleven)…

Granted, with 128 matches in total, the sheer volume of games is absolutely insane. I’m not saying the author needs to draw every single match, but man… I really wish we could see just a little bit more of the action for the other groups too!
