In addition to the Copinha, Barcelona scouts will also keep a close eye on the South American U-20 Championship, which has been moved from Peru to Venezuela.
This tournament, scheduled from January 23 to February 16, offers more than just the chance to see young talent—four spots in the U-20 World Cup will be up for grabs.
Among the standout players to watch is 17-year-old Argentine Franco Mastantuono, who is expected to make waves in the competition.
The tournament promises to be a highly competitive one, with Group B featuring some of the region’s top footballing nations: Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, and Bolivia.
For Barcelona, the focus on South American talent is a long-term strategy to ensure they have access to some of the best-emerging players who could strengthen the club in the future.
With the region consistently producing top-level footballers, Barcelona’s increased scouting presence could be a key factor in identifying the next star to wear the Blaugrana shirt.
