The Azzurrini had never reached this stage before, but it has been a splendid tournament for coach Carmine Nunziata’s boys, particularly Chelsea midfielder Casadei with seven goals in six games.

They beat Brazil, the Dominican Republic, England, Colombia and South Korea to set up this Final against Uruguay.

Empoli trequartista Baldanzi supports Inter-owned Esposito and Napoli striker Giuseppe Ambrosino.

Udinese talent Simone Pafundi scored a sensational free kick to secure qualification in the semi-final and that earned the 17-year-old a starting spot.

Uruguay have Luciano Rodriguez suspended for the Final, while Mateo Ponte sustained a muscular injury in the semi-final against Israel.

Defender Alan Matturro is on the books of Genoa.

Uruguay U20: R Rodriguez; Chagas, Boselli, Facundo Gonzalez, Matturro; Diaz, Garcia; L Rodriguez, Franco Gonzalez, De Los Santos; Duarte

Italy U20: Desplanches; Prati, Ghilardi, Guarino, Turicchia; Casadei, Faticanti, Giovane; Baldanzi, Pafundi; Ambrosino
