International football competition

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 face in the two previous finals.

  • CAF (Africa): 4 slots
  • CONCACAF (North America, Central America and the Caribbean): 4 slots
  • CONMEBOL (South America): 5 slots (including hosts Colombia)
  • OFC (Oceania): 2 slots
  • UEFA (Europe): 5 slots

Squads

Players born between 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2008 are 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 does not use video match officials. The head coach of each team is allowed to make a video review request. They number of requests during the match are limited to two for the regulation time with an additional challenge added in extra time. Should the coach fails 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 (Switzerland) and Andreia Ferreira (Portugal) were selected for the tournament, and latter replaced by hers compatriots Linda Schmid and Vanessa Gomes respectively.

Marketing

The official emblem was unveiled on 8 April 2024. According to FIFA's website:[14]

...[The] vibrant design [is] inspired by the stunning nature and colour of host nation Colombia as well as the tournament's fundamental role in forging the Future Stars of Football. 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.

The tournament's mascot is named "Kinti". The mascot represents the biodiversity of the country and shaped after a hummingbird. Kinti was unveiled on May 23 2024 at the Botanical Garden of Medellín.[15]
