The All Whites have reached the final stage for the seventh time but made their debut in the FIFA U-20 World Cup only in 2007. In the first three editions, the All Whites failed to progress from the group stage. In the previous three tournaments, the team reached the Round of 16. The national team won all their matches in the Oceania qualifiers without conceding a single goal. In Group A, the juniors crushed the Cook Islands 8-0, American Samoa 9-0, and the Solomon Islands 6-0. In the quarterfinals, New Zealand defeated Papua New Guinea 5-0, in the semifinals they overcame their peers from Tahiti 2-0, and in the final, they convincingly defeated Fiji 3-0. Forward Colotti from the amateur club Melville United and forward Donkers from the Dutch side Nijmegen U21 scored nine goals each and became the top scorers of the qualifiers.

In four out of the sixteen Youth World Cups they have participated in, the Argentinians have failed to advance from the group stage. In 1981, the Sub-20 team lost to Australia 1-2 and drew with England 1-1, ending their chances of progressing to the knockout stages. In 1991, the blue and white team only managed to earn one point with a draw against Ireland, 1-1.

In 2015, the Albiceleste also failed to secure a victory in Group B, with draws against Panama 2-2 and Austria 0-0. In the 2017 U-20 World Cup, the national team started with two defeats, so their 5-0 victory over Guinea had no impact on their progression. Watch the New Zealand vs. Argentina match online.
