The 2023 Under-20 Intercontinental Cup (Spanish: Sub-20 Intercontinental 2023) was the second edition of the UEFA–CONMEBOL Under-20 Intercontinental Cup, a one-off football match organised by CONMEBOL and UEFA between the winners of the U-20 Copa Libertadores and UEFA Youth League. As host confederation, CONMEBOL was in charge of the main organization of this edition.[1]

The match was played on 9 September 2023 at La Bombonera stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between the Argentine team Boca Juniors, the 2023 U-20 Copa Libertadores champions, and Dutch team AZ, the 2022–23 UEFA Youth League champions.[2][3][4]

With an attendance of near 38,000 fans at "La Bombonera",[5] Boca Juniors defeated AZ 4–1 on penalties to win their first U-20 Intercontinental title.[6][7] Boca Juniors goalkeeper Sebastián Díaz Robles stopped two penalties during the shoot-out.[8]

Officials

The refereeing team was appointed by the Referees Committees of CONMEBOL and UEFA; only referees in the FIFA International Referees List were eligible (Regulations Articles 28 and 29).[1] On 4 September 2023, CONMEBOL announced the refereeing team with Bolivian official Gery Vargas as the referee for the match.[9] Vargas is a FIFA referee since 2012.[10] He was joined by three of his fellow countrymen, including assistant referees José Antelo and Edwar Saavedra, with Ivo Méndez serving as the fourth official. Ángelo Hermosilla acted as the video assistant referee (VAR) and Alejandro Molina was the assistant VAR official (AVAR), both from Chile.

Each team had to submit their list of 22 players (including at least two goalkeepers) to its respective confederation by 5 September 2023, 19:00 UTC−3 (ART) or 24:00 UTC+2 (CEST), as appropriate. Only players born on or after 1 January 2003 were eligible to compete.
