The opening Group C fixture features the USA and Germany, two of the tournament favourites.
The Germans arrive as reigning U-19 European champions after an impressive march to the trophy at the continental showdown, where they booked their place in Egypt without losing a match.
The USA have appeared at the FIFA U-20 World Cup finals twelve times, more than any other nation in their confederation, although they fell 3-0 to Costa Rica in the CONCACAF championship final.
