The 2015 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship will be the 8th 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. The tournament will be hosted by Honduras and take place between 3–13 December 2015, as announced by CONCACAF on 7 May 2015.[1] A total of eight teams will play in the tournament.

Same as previous editions, the tournament acts as the CONCACAF qualifiers for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. The top three teams of the tournament will qualify for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Papua New Guinea as the CONCACAF representatives.[2]

Squads

Main article: 2015 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship squads

Players born on or after 1 January 1996 are eligible to compete in the tournament. Each team can register a maximum of 20 players (two of whom must be goalkeepers).[7]

Group stage

The top two teams of each group advance to the semi-finals. The teams are ranked according to points (3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss). If tied on points, tiebreakers are applied in the following order:[7]

  1. Goal difference in all group matches;
  2. Greatest number of goals scored in all group matches;
  3. Greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. Goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned;
  5. Greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned;
  6. Drawing of lots

All times are local, CST (UTC−6).[8]

The two matches originally scheduled on 5 December 2015 (Jamaica vs Canada and Trinidad and Tobago vs Honduras) were postponed due to heavy rain.[9] As a result, all subsequent group matches were delayed by a day and relocated to the Escuela Internacional Sampedrana in San Pedro Sula.[10]
