The FIFA U-20 World Cup Women 2012 (officially 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup ) was the sixth playout this competition for football players under 20 (date: January 1, 1992) and took place from 19 August to 8th September 2012 in Japan . It was the third time that Japan hosted a FIFA youth tournament after the 1979 Men's World Cup and the 1993 Men's U-17 World Cup . The game was played in the cities of Hiroshima , Kobe , Rifu , Saitama and Tokyo . 16 teams took part in the tournament, initially in four groups and then in the knockout system . The winner for the third time was the USA team , which also became the record world champions in this age group, with a 1-0 victory in the final against the German team , which had not conceded a goal in the tournament until then.
Award of the tournament
Originally, the tournament was to be awarded at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting on March 19, 2010. The decision was postponed in order to give those who might be interested more time to prepare. Vietnam was then awarded the contract, but later renounced the hosting. The reason for this was that the Vietnamese association received too little support from the government. On March 3, 2011, FIFA awarded the tournament to Uzbekistan. On December 18, 2011, FIFA revoked the right to host Uzbekistan “because of a number of logistical and technical problems”. Japan was proposed as the new host country , which was confirmed on February 8, 2012.

In the semifinals, the records were extended to 12 and six games, respectively, and at the same time the previous record of the Chinese U-20 team, which conceded 508 minutes without conceding a goal in 2006, increased to 566 minutes. In the final, the series ended after a total of 610 minutes.
- In the semifinals, Melanie Leupolz scored the fastest goal of the tournament after 58 seconds, which is also the second fastest goal of the U-20 World Championships. Only the Canadian Loredana Riverso was faster with 40 seconds in the game against the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
- North Korea's 9-0 win against Argentina in the preliminary round is their biggest win at the U-20 Women's World Cup to date. The previous record has been held by Germany with a 9-1 win against Mexico since 2006.

- Maren Meinert became the sole record coach of the U-20 World Championships with 22 games, previously she held the record of 16 games together with Ian Bridge (Canada) and Choe Kwang-sok (North Korea). In the following two World Cup tournaments, she increased the record to initially 28 and then 32 games.
- For the first time at a FIFA tournament, Germany and the USA met in a final. With the win against Germany, the USA became the sole U-20 record world champion for women. But Germany was able to catch up two years later.
