Football At The 2007 Pan American Games – Men's Tournament
In the men's football tournament of the 2007 Pan American Games, the Pan American Sports Organisation expanded the number of participants from 8 to 12 and set the age limit to the Under-20 level. However, CONMEBOL, representing the South American nations, only accepted to play with Under-17 teams (who qualified through the 2007 South American Under-17 Football Championship), since Under-20 teams had to participate at the U-20 World Cup at the same time. The United States accepted to play with their Under-18 team. Finally, Peru declined to play because their U-17 team preferred to play friendlies in Asia in preparation for the U-17 World Cup, so Bolivia took their place. In the final, Ecuador beat Jamaica to win their first gold medal. on El Universo, 27 Jul 2007 [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
