The South Korea national under-20 football team (; recognized as Korea Republic by FIFA) represents South Korea in international youth football competitions and also can be managed as under-18 or under-19 team if necessary. South Korean under-20 team won twelve AFC U-20 Asian Cup (AFC Youth Championship) titles and reached the FIFA U-20 World Cup final once, both are the most successful results among Asian teams.
See main article: History of the South Korea national football team.
The following is a list of match results in the last 12 months, as well as any future matches that have been scheduled.
See also: South Korea national football team results. South Korea entered annual AFC Youth Championship from 1959 to 1976 excluding the 1975 tournament and the youth matches of those days were played for 80 minutes.
The FIFA World Youth Championship was founded in 1977 and the AFC Youth Championship became a qualifying tournament of the World Youth Championship. The top two teams (generally finalists) of the AFC Youth Championship could qualify for the World Youth Championship until 1995. The two competitions were held every two years, and introduced 90-minute matches since 1979.
The number of participating teams in the FIFA World Youth Championship was increased from 16 to 24 in 1997, and four Asian countries, generally the semi-finalists in the AFC Youth Championship, has qualified for the competition since then. The FIFA World Youth Championship was renamed the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2007. The AFC Youth Championship was relaunched as the AFC U-19 Championship in 2008 and the AFC U-20 Asian Cup in 2023.
The following is a list of match results in the FIFA U-20 World Cup, AFC U-20 Asian Cup and AFF U-19 Youth Championship.[1]
