It was the officially recognized world championship for women's under-20 national association football teams. Matches were held in four Moscow stadiums (Dynamo, Lokomotiv, Podmoskovie Stadium and Torpedo Stadium) and one in Saint Petersburg (Petrovsky Stadium). This was the third women's world youth championship organized by FIFA, but the first with an age limit of 20. The first two events, held in Canada in 2002 and Thailand in 2004, had an age limit of 19. FIFA changed the age limit to prepare for the creation of an under-17 championship in 2008. North Korea won the tournament. They became the first Asian team to win a FIFA women's tournament and the first Asian football team to win any FIFA tournaments since Saudi Arabia's triumph in the 1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship. The official mascot is a little fox called Alissa.Unable to find original source that's not a Wiki October 2025 Venues CityStadiumCapacitySaint PetersburgPetrovsky Stadium21,570MoscowTorpedo Stadium13,400ShchyolkovoPodmoskovie Stadium5,000MoscowDynamo Stadium36,540MoscowLocomotiv Stadium28,800 Squads 2006 FIFA U-20 Women's World Championship squads Qualified teams The 16 participating U-20 women's teams from the six FIFA confederations are: Confederation (Continent) Qualifying Tournament Qualifier(s)AFC (Asia)2006 AFC U-19 Women's Championship20 CHN20 PRK1 120 AUSCAF (Africa)2006 African U-20 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament20 NGA20 COD1 1CONCACAF(North, Central America & Caribbean)2006 CONCACAF Under 19 Women's Qualifying Tournament20 USA20 CAN20 MEXCONMEBOL (South America)2006 South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship20 BRA20 ARG1 1OFC (Oceania)2004 OFC Under-19 Women's Qualifying Tournament20 NZL1 1UEFA (Europe)Host nation19 RUS2005 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship19 FRA 197419 GER19 FIN1 119 SUI1 1 1.1Teams that made their debut.

However, the country's senior men's team was the first to play as an AFC team, competing in its first 2007 Asian Cup qualifier in February 2006, two months before the AFC qualifiers for this competition. Before 1 January 2006, Australia was a member of the Oceania Football Confederation. This was the first U-20 Women's tournament in which a Canadian has not won the Golden Shoe award, given to the top goal scorer of the tournament. Canadians Christine Sinclair and Brittany Timko won the award in 2002 and 2004 respectively.
