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]
