Nigeria has lost their bid to become the first African country to host a global women’s tournament after FIFA chose Costa Rica and Panama as joint hosts for next year’s Under-20 World Cup.
It will be the first time that a FIFA youth tournament will be played across two venues.
The next step is for both Costa Rica and Panama to collectively decide how many and which stadiums should host the games, along with the dates.
“The U-20 Women’s World Cup in Costa Rica and Panama next year is, for us, an ideal occasion to continue promoting the popularity of this sport,” said Sarai Bareman, FIFA Women’s Football Director.
