Eight years after their last FIFA U-20 World Cup triumph, Brazil lifted the trophy for the fifth time in front of record-breaking crowds at Colombia 2011.
FIFA photographers have gone behind the scenes to bring you an exclusive view of Colombia 2011. From the changing room to the warm-up areas by way of the tunnel, we look at some of their shots.
All four games were, exceptionally, decided by penalties. Colombia needed a last-gasp one to complete a thrilling comeback, while Argentina and Portugal also scored winners from the spot and Mexico triumphed in a shoot-out.
In a game in which all three goals were penalties, Walter Perazzo's team beat Egypt 2-1 to secure a quarter-final against Portugal.
In any game, particularly one a long way from home, having some support can be the difference between a win and defeat, so many of the teams in Colombia have been out looking to charm themselves a 12th man.
When Argentina take on Egypt in the FIFA U-20 World Cup Round of 16 on Tuesday, it will be the fourth time the two sides have met at the tournament in the last ten years.
