Concacaf announced that Honduras will host the 2020 version of the tournament from June 20 to July 5. All matches will be played at either Estadio Francisco Morazan or Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano, in San Pedro Sula.

“We are honored, excited and grateful with the Confederation for naming Honduras as host of the 2020 Concacaf Under-20 Championship,” said FENAFUTH president Jorge Salomon. “It is a great opportunity to showcase San Pedro Sula to the world, as it is a city characterized by its cheerful people, its simplicity and a vast culture inherited by our ancestors, which will predominate throughout the competition.”
