List of FIFA U-20 World Cup hat-tricks
This is a list of all hat-tricks scored during FIFA Under-20 World Cups; that is, the occasions when a footballer has scored three or more goals in a single football U-20 World Cup match (not including qualification matches). Scoring a hat-trick in a World Cup is a relatively rare event: only 31 hat-tricks have been scored in the 20 editions of the World Cup tournament. As FIFA is the governing body of football (soccer), official hat-tricks are only noted when FIFA recognises that at least three goals were scored by one player in one match.
The first hat-tricks were scored on the same day by Guina of Brazil and Luis Placencia of Mexico in 1977; the most recent (as of 20 June 2015) was by Bence Mervó of Hungary, playing against North Korea in 2015.
Notable U-20 World Cup hat-tricks[edit]
- Guina was the first player to score a hat-trick in a U-20 World Cup match, on 27 June 1977 against Iran.
- Adaílton is the only player in U-20 World Cup history to have scored six goals in a single match. He did this during the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship match between Brazil and South Korea.
- Only one player has scored a hat-trick in a U-20 World Cup Final. Oscar scored three for Brazil against Portugal in the 2011 Final.
- Two players have scored two hat-tricks in U-20 World Cup matches: Ramón Díaz (1979) and Javier Saviola (2001)
