Last Monday, February 13th, finished the final hexagonal of the South American U-20 Championship played in Colombia, where Brazil was crowned as champion after defeating Uruguay 2-0. It’s the twelfth time that Brazil has won this competition.

The tournament gave three quotas for the Pan American Games, so along with the ‘Scratch’, Uruguay and Colombia ensured their qualification to Santiago 2023 after being second and third place in the position board. The Pan American competition will allow the participation of U-23 football players.

Brazil can say that it had in its ranks the best player of the tournament. The captain of the ‘Verde-amarela’ youth, Andrey Santos - a star recently hired by the English club Chelsea - was the main figure during the tournament, tying at the top of the scoring board with his compatriot Vitor Roque, both with 6 goals.
