On Sunday, a first half strike by Dominic Calvert-Lewin ensured the Young Lions emerged victorious although their Freddie Woodman made a 74th minute penalty save.
But who are these young heroes?
England Under-20 manager Paul Simpson, told Sky Sports News: "What a weekend it's been for our national teams with the other Under-20 side winning the Toulon Tournament and now we have capped it off with winning the World Cup".
"I was knackered from the celebration, but honestly, words can't describe it all".
England forward Dominic Solanke, who will join Liverpool from Chelsea on July 1, was awarded the Golden Ball as player of the tournament, while Woodman secured the Golden Glove, the best goalkeeper of the tournament.
"Congratulations @England u20's! incredible achievement to be world champions!" tweeted the Premier League's top scorer.

After the break, Woodman did well to come off his line and foil Sergio Cordova after a superb pass from substitute Yeferson Soteldo. England then had a chance to double its lead in the 55th minute when Josh Onomah's shot from well outside the area hit the crossbar.
