FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup France 2018 - News - Brittany welcomes the world
- France 2018 kicks off on Sunday 5 August
- Les Bleuettes keen to keep the good times rolling for French football
- The tournament has previously unearthed some all-time greats
The eyes of the world were on Russia for the first half of the footballing summer. And as fate would have it, they will now turn to France, the home of the newly crowned world champions and the venue for the second global event of the holiday season: the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup France 2018.
From 5 to 24 August, the 16 best teams in the age group will fight it out in Brittany for the title. Reigning champions Korea DPR are favourites to retain their crown, though they can expect a stiff challenge, not least from the tournament hosts, who are determined to see French football remain on a high. Competition regulars Japan, USA and Germany are among the other contenders for glory.
FIFA.com marks your card ahead of a tournament that promises to be both thrilling and keenly contested.
The lowdown
Dates: 5-24 August
Participants: 16 teams from the six FIFA confederations, drawn into four groups
Format: the top two in each group advance to the quarter-finals
History: this is the ninth edition of the competition. The first took place in Canada in 2002 and the most recent in Papua New Guinea in 2016
Three reasons to follow the tournament
- The U-20 world finals is where the future stars of world football make their entrance on the global scene. Marta, Alex Morgan and Wendie Renard all appeared in the competition before excelling at senior level.
- France 2018 provides an opportunity to discover Brittany. The tournament’s four host cities – Vannes, Concarneau, Dinan/Lehon, and Saint-Malo – are all well worth a visit, as you can find out for yourself in our Destination section.
- The tournament also offers a taste of what France has in store for us when it hosts the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™, from 7 June to 7 July next year.
