The 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup was the 6th edition of the tournament. The tournament was played in Japan from 19 August to 8 September[1] with sixteen national football teams and marked the first hosting of a FIFA women's tournament in the country.[2]
The host nation was to be decided on 19 March 2010 but was postponed by FIFA to give bidders more time to prepare their bids.[3]
On 3 March 2011, FIFA initially awarded the World Cup to Uzbekistan.[4] However, on 18 December 2011 FIFA had the tournament stripped from this country for problems with the bid and named Japan as a possible host.[5] Japan was officially announced as host on 8 February 2012.[2]
