International football competition

The 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship was the 11th edition of the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONCACAF for the women's under-20 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. Same as previous edition, the tournament will featured 20 teams and was held in the Dominican Republic, between 25 February and 12 March 2022.[1]

The top three teams of the tournament qualified for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and joined host nation Costa Rica as the CONCACAF representatives.[1]

Qualification

The 41 CONCACAF teams were ranked based on the CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Ranking as of 31 March 2020,[2] and 28 entered the competition for the 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship final tournament. The highest-ranked 16 entrants advanced directly to the group stage of the final tournament, while the other 12 entrants participated in qualifying.[3] The four group winners in qualifying advance directly into the knockout stage of the final tournament.

Costa Rica will host the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and, therefore, is exempt from participating in the tournament. Saint Kitts and Nevis, the 17th best ranked CONCACAF Women's Under-20, will take their place in the group stage and, therefore, were exempt from participating in the 2022 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship Qualifiers.
