New Zealand
COACH: Des Buckingham

STAR PLAYER: Sarpreet Singh

It is the fifth consecutive U20 World Cup featuring the Junior All Whites, who have established themselves as the main power in the Oceania region.

The Kiwis have only ever reached the round-of-16 – a stage they exited at in the last two tournaments – and will be keen to again progress to the knockouts despite being drawn in a tough group featuring Uruguay, Norway and Honduras.

The squad features two established A-League players from Wellington Phoenix in talented playmaker Sarpreet Singh and wing-back Liberato Cacace.

Goalkeeper Michael Woud is on the books of Eredivisie club Willem II and made his senior debut for the club on March 29 and keep an eye out for promising striker Ben Waine, who impressed in a late-season cameo for the Phoenix.

Senegal
COACH: Youssouph Dabo

Runners-up at the 2019 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations, Senegal were perhaps the most exciting team to emerge from that tournament in Niger.
