The 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (Spanish: Copa Mundial Femenina Sub-20 de la FIFA Costa Rica 2022) was the 10th edition of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the biennial international women's youth football championship contested by the under-20 national teams of the member associations of FIFA, since its inception in 2002 as the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship (the age limit was raised from 19 to 20 in 2008). The tournament was held in Costa Rica, which would have hosted the 2020 edition before it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] It was the second time that Costa Rica hosted a FIFA tournament after the 2014 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.

Japan were the defending champions. The opening match played at the tournament was contested between Costa Rica and Australia at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, San José. The final was held on 28 August 2022. For the third time in FIFA football tournaments,[a] and the first time for the youth tournaments, there was a back-to-back final between the two same teams. The final was also the first time that two consecutive finals of a World Cup between the two same teams also won by the same team.

This was the final edition to feature 16 teams before expanded to 24 teams in 2024 in Colombia.

Host selection

Costa Rica and Panama were originally selected as co-hosts of the 2020 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup on 20 December 2019,[2] before the withdrawal of Panama leaving Costa Rica as the only host country.[3] On 17 November 2020, FIFA announced that the 2020 edition of the tournament would be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, Costa Rica was appointed a host of the next edition of the tournament scheduled for 2022.[1][4]

Qualified teams

A total of 16 teams qualify for the final tournament. In addition to Costa Rica who automatically qualifies as host, 15 teams qualify from six continental competitions.
