Zurich-Switzerland, June 01, 2012: Statistical, 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 29 million women playing football worldwide and 216 of them demonstrated their impressive skills at the inaugural FIFA U-19 Women’s World Cup in 2002. Since Russia 2006, the tournament is now known as the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, and has 16 teams from all confederations: AFC: 3 teams; CAF: 2; CONCACAF: 3; CONMEBOL: 2; OFC: 1; UEFA: 4 and the host, who qualifies automatically.
