The 2020 African U-20 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament was the 10th edition of the African U-20 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament, the biennial international youth football competition organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to determine which women's under-20 national teams from Africa qualify for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Players born on or after 1 January 2000 were eligible to compete in the tournament.

Two teams would have qualified from this tournament for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Costa Rica as the CAF representatives. [1] [2] However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled. [3] As a result, all remaining qualifying matches were cancelled. [4] [5]

Format

Qualification ties were played on a home-and-away two-legged basis. If the aggregate score was tied after the second leg, the away goals rule was applied, and if still tied, the penalty shoot-out (no extra time) was used to determine the winner.

Schedule

The schedule of the qualifying rounds was as follows. [8] [10]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all first round matches, originally scheduled for 20–22 and 27–29 March 2020, had been postponed until further notice. [11] The CAF announced the new dates in July 2020. [12] However, on 15 August 2020, CAF announced that all first round matches, rescheduled for 3–5 and 10–12 September 2020, were again postponed due to travel restrictions across parts of Africa as a result of COVID-19. [13] The CAF sent a letter to the member associations on 21 December 2020 confirming the cancellation of the qualifiers. [4]
