The 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Femenina Sub-20 de la FIFA Colombia 2024) is 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]
The tournament is hosted by Colombia from 31 August to 22 September 2024. It is the third time that Colombia has hosted a FIFA tournament, after the 2011 FIFA U-20 World Cup and the 2016 FIFA Futsal World Cup. This is also the first time that Colombia has 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 beat in the previous final, itself a rematch of the 2018 final which Japan won.
