The change to the age categories had already been approved by the Board. This will now be put to the Congress.
Youth
Reasoning: The Youth players can participate two times in U16 and U20 in Confed Championship and World Cup. This is in favor of all Confederations. A youth player can play at least 10 years in youth categories.
