The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup (English: FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup ) is the competition for the best U-17 national teams in the world. The tournament is organized by the world association FIFA and was held for the first time in 2008. Back then, New Zealand was the host . The last tournament so far took place in Uruguay in 2018 .
The U-17 World Cup is usually held every two years in even years, while the male juniors' competitions are held in odd years.
Reigning world champion (2018) is Spain.
history
After the positive outcome of the first U-19 Women's World Cup , which was held in Canada in 2002 , FIFA wanted to introduce a second world youth tournament. Because of the age restrictions at the time, the continental associations spoke out against this proposal. To solve the problem, FIFA created the U-17 and U-20 Women's World Cups, bringing the age limits into line with those of the male juniors' competitions. The age limit for the U-19 competition was thus increased to 20 and became effective for the first time for the 2006 tournament in Russia . So far, the tournament has been won four times by Asian teams (Japan, South and North Korea). The title went twice to Europe, which found its way onto the list of winners thanks to the French and Spanish women. None of the hosts have been able to survive the group stage and make it into the knockout round.
