4 Introduction 10 things you need to know about the FIFA U-20 Women s World Cup 1. The 2010 edition in Germany will be the 5 th U-20 FIFA World Cup. 2. The first FIFA U-19 Women s World Cup was held in Canada, while the second was played in Thailand, the second Asian country, after China PR (1991 and 2007), to host a FIFA Women s World Cup. The 2008 event was held in Chile as the FIFA U-20 Women s World Cup. Chile was the first South American country chosen to stage a FIFA Women s World Cup. 3. A total of 30 different teams have qualified for at least one of the final competitions ( ). The continental breakdown [AFC (7), CAF (3), CONCACAF (4), CONMEBOL (4), OFC (1) and UEFA (11)] underlines the excellent development work of the leading lights in women s football, as Brazil, Germany, Nigeria and the USA have all qualified for all final competitions held to date. 4. In 2010, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ghana and Sweden will all play in the FIFA U-20 Women s World Cup for the first time. 5. With two titles and 20 wins in 24 matches the USA lead the U-20 All-time Ranking.

The highest average number of goals per match was recorded during the inaugural tournament in Canada (3.88 goals per match), followed by Thailand 2004 (3.54) and Chile 2008 (3.53). 7. In contrast to 2002, 2004 and 2008, the final in 2006 saw a flood of goals. In 2002, the USA defeated the Canadian hosts with the only goal of the game, while in 2004, Germany overcame China PR 2-0, with the goals scored in the first and last ten minutes of the match. In 2006, the all-asian final between Korea DPR and China PR ended in a comfortable 5-0 victory for the North Koreans. 8. The youngest player to have taken part in this competition is Canada s Sydney Leroux, who was just 14 years and 6 months old. Mexico s Charlyn Corral became the competition s youngest goalscorer (at just 14 years and 11 months) when she scored against Switzerland in August With a total of 295,133 fans at an average of 11,351 per match, the FIFA U-19 Women s World Cup Canada 2002 set a benchmark that will be difficult to beat.

5 History The first confederation to stage an age-group tournament for women was UEFA in 1997 with the European Women s U-19 Championship. In a move to further promote the women s game, FIFA followed suit with its own competition for young women. As was FIFA s intention, the event has encouraged member associations to develop women s football at youth level and to set up teams in younger age groups, including the U-13 and U-15 brackets. Moreover, the championship has also prompted the confederations to organise continental qualifying competitions. There are more than 20 million women playing football worldwide and 216 of them paraded their impressive skills at the inaugural FIFA U-19 Women s World Cup in Since the event in Russia in 2006, the tournament is now organised as the FIFA U-20 Women s World Cup, with 16 teams divided among the confederations: AFC: 3 teams; CAF: 2; CONCACAF: 3; CONMEBOL: 2; OFC: 1; UEFA: 4 and the host, who qualifies automatically The first FIFA U-19 Women s World Cup was held in Canada, while the second was played in Thailand, the second Asian country, after China PR (1991 and 2007), to host a FIFA Women s World Cup.

28 #4 SWEDEN NEW ZEALAND The two sides go head-to-head for the first time in the women s game. Sweden have always lost their opening match in FIFA competitions. At the FIFA Women s World Cup 1991 the Blågult slumped to a 3-2 defeat by USA, before slipping up 2-0 against China PR at the Women s Olympic Tournament In the opening matches of both of their previous campaigns at FIFA s U-20 showpiece, New Zealand have let in three goals. In 2006 the Junior Football Ferns went down 3-0 against neighbours Australia, before losing 3-2 to Nigeria in #5 ENGLAND NIGERIA The pair s only prior encounter in this category was a 1-1 draw played out at the FIFA U-20 Women s World Cup The two sides also squared up in the FIFA Women s World Cup 1995, resulting in a 3-2 English success, as well as at the FIFA U-17 Women s World Cup 2008, when England again prevailed with a 1-0 scoreline. By contrast, Nigeria came out on top in two friendlies played between the senior sides in England in 2002 and 2004, securing 1-0 and 3-0 victories respectively.

The Germans record stands at one win, one draw (which they later won on penalties) and one defeat. #10 COSTA RICA FRANCE This is the sides first meeting in female football. In all of their previous participations in the FIFA U-20 Women s World Cup, France have been paired against CONCACAF opposition in the opening round. In 2002 Les Bleuettes overcame Mexico 2-1, whereas in the 2006 and 2008 editions they suffered respective 1-0 and 3-0 setbacks against USA. #11 BRAZIL SWEDEN The two national teams have only ever faced each other at senior level, meeting three times in the FIFA Women s World Cup, twice in the Women s Olympic Tournament and once in a friendly match.
