When a DFV-Elf first took part in a U-20 world championship, the U-18 European champion from 1986 immediately took 3rd place. Especially the axis with Neitzel as libero, Steinmann as midfield strategist and Sammer as striker knew how to convince. Matthias Sammer was elected to the eleven of the tournament and was the top scorer of his team with 4 hits.
The other careers of the players were very different. Sammer and Steinmann soon became regular members of their clubs and the senior national team. Sammer's further career is well known, he finally became European champion in 1996. Kracht, Herzog and Schuster were later appointed to the GDR selection, Wosz and Ritter came to more or less long DFB selection careers. Minkwitz, Lange, Hiemann and Jähnig also made the leap into professional football, while Zimmerling and Liebers wandered through the upper amateur classes. Marco Köller is an example of a failed talent, he became a social case. Uwe Amstein and Jörg Prasse have left no traces in high-performance football.
A total of ten teams submitted players for the selection, Dynamo Dresden alone five. The regional distribution is striking; twelve players came from teams in the three Saxon districts. By contrast, only two players were sent by the record champions BFC Dynamo. It is also noteworthy that two company sports associations also sent a national player, as the talented players were usually delegated from the children's and youth sports school to the football clubs and usually stayed there.

After the DFB selection were U-20 world champions in 1981, they only had to admit defeat to the outstanding Yugoslavs in 1987. Marcel Witeczek, who scored 7 goals in 6 games, stood out in the team. Furthermore, Andreas Möller knew how to please, who steered the game of his team as a midfield engine.
Despite this success, this year only had 3 senior national players. While Möller had an impressive career, which he crowned with the world championship title in 1990 and the European title in 1996, Knut Reinhardt and the late-calling Michael Preetz only made a few appearances in the DFB selection. However, they were able to establish themselves successfully in the Bundesliga and some of them had great successes with their clubs. Gunther Metz, Alexander Strehmel, Martin Schneider, Detlev Dammeier, Marcel Witeczek and Michael Klinkert also made this step. Seasoned second division players with trips to the upper house were Brunn, Heidenreich, Luginger, Spyrka and Epp. Eichenauer, Clauss and Würzburger were only given a few professional games, Andreas Claasens track was soon lost in amateur football. A total of 15 clubs submitted players for the selection.

Preliminary round
The preliminary round was held in four groups with four teams each. The first two in each group qualified for the quarter-finals. This became a purely European-South American affair, as all six European teams as well as the hosts Chile and Brazil qualified. For the Brazilians it was already over in the quarter-finals, while the Chilean team surprisingly made it to the semi-finals. In the end, Chile finished fourth. From an all-German perspective, the tournament was a great success. The DFB selection was runner-up, while the DFV selection prevailed against the hosts in the game for third place. This placement represents the greatest success of a GDR selection at the junior world championships.
