This years Under 20 competition (alongside the Trophy) is the first global U20's competitions held since 2019, with the 2020 edition, scheduled to be held in Italy, cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing instability in the world following the pandemic delaying the return of the competition.
