The Guatemala national Under-20 football team is the national under-20 age level football team of Guatemala, and represents the nation in under-20 international matches.
The team qualified to the 2011 U-20 World Cup by finishing in the top 4 of the CONCACAF region at the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, earning the first participation in a World Cup finals tournament at any level for Guatemala.
History
At the 2011 CONCACAF U-20 Championship held in Guatemala City in March and April 2011, Guatemala advanced to the second round as second of a 3-team series which included Honduras and Jamaica. Guatemala then played a direct elimination quarterfinal match against the United States, and won 2-1 which secured a place in the top four and thus participation in the 2011 U-20 World Cup. The result was considered a significant upset by the international news media as the United States was one of the strongest teams in CONCACAF.[1][2]
2011 U-20 World Cup
Guatemala was drawn into Group D of the tournament along Nigeria, Croatia, and Saudi Arabia. Their debut match was a 0-5 loss against Nigeria.[3] Following a 6-0 loss to Saudi Arabia, Guatemala defeated Croatia 1-0 to advance to the Round of 16, where they were eliminated by losing 0-1 to Portugal.
2023 U-20 World Cup
Groups were drawn for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in April 2023, and Guatemala was placed in Group A alongside New Zealand, Uzbekistan, and Argentina.[4] Guatemala's first match was a 1–0 loss to New Zealand, followed by a 3–0 loss to Argentina. In their final match of the group stage, Uzbekistan defeated Guatemala 2–0, which resulted in Guatemala's elimination from the tournament.[5]
