Five Southeast Asian teams to participate in the Youth World Cup

4. Myanmar (2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup)

This is the first time Myanmar participated in a youth World Cup tournament. Previously, Myanmar had qualified for the tournament after reaching the 2014 AFC U-19 Championship semi-finals.

Myanmar was pitted against hosts New Zealand, the United States and Ukraine. Despite failing to score a single point at the tournament, the team has impressed in the match against the US, where Yan Naing Oo became the first Burmese player to score.
