The 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Femenina Sub-20 de la FIFA Colombia 2024) was the 11th edition of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the biennial international women's youth football championship contested by the under-20 women's national teams of the member associations of FIFA. The tournament was expanded by FIFA to feature 24 teams instead of 16. [1]

Contents

The tournament was hosted by Colombia from 31 August to 22 September 2024. It was the third time that Colombia hosted a FIFA tournament, after the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2016 FIFA Futsal World Cup. This was also the first time that Colombia hosted a FIFA women's tournament. [2]

Spain were the defending champions. In addition, Spain held all three Women's World Cups (senior, U-20 and U-17) at the time of the tournament. [3] They were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Japan, whom they faced in the two previous finals.

Host selection

Colombia were announced as the 2024 Women's U-20 World Cup hosts following the FIFA Council meeting on 25 June 2023 in Zürich, Switzerland. [2]

Expansion

On 4 October 2023, FIFA decided the expansion of the tournament from 16 to 24 teams. [1] The slot allocation mirrored the men's tournament and was as follows:

Qualified teams

A total of 24 teams qualified for the final tournament. In addition to Colombia who qualified automatically as hosts, the other 23 teams qualified from six separate continental competitions.

Squads

Players born between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2008 were eligible to compete in the tournament. [10]

Match officials

For the very first time in a football pitch national teams tournament, the football video support (FVS) was implemented. [11] This new alternative simplified the video assistant referee (VAR).

FVS system did not utilize video match officials. The head coach of each team was allowed to make a video review request. The number of requests during the match were limited to two for the regulation time with an additional challenge added in extra time. Should the coach failed in all of the remaining requests, they would not be allowed to request another review.

A total of 18 referees, 36 assistant and 4 support referees were appointed officially by FIFA for the tournament on 19 June 2024. [12]

Originally, Susanne Küng  [ de; simple ] (Switzerland) and Andreia Ferreira (Portugal) were selected for the tournament, and latter replaced by their compatriots Linda Schmid and Vanessa Gomes, respectively.

The VAR system was implemented only for the third place match and the final. Both referees designated as video assistant for the two final matches are shown in italic.

Group stage

The draw for the group stage took place on 5 June 2024. [13]

All times are local, COT (UTC−5). [6]

Using the South American country's unique and iconic Caño Cristales river, nicknamed 'Liquid Rainbow', as the central theme of the design, the tournament emblem also features the yellow, blue and red of the Colombian flag to make it the perfect blended reflection of the tournament hosts and the competition itself.
