The 2012 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup will be the 7th edition of the tournament. The tournament will be played in Japan from 19 August to 8 September with sixteen national football soccer teams and mark the first hosting of a FIFA women's football tournament in the country.[2]

The host nation were to be decided on 19 March 2010 but was postponed by FIFA to give bidders more time to prepare their bids.[3]

On 3 March 2011 FIFA initially awarded the World Cup to Uzbekistan.[4] However, on 18 December 2011 FIFA had the tournament stripped from this country for problems with the bid and named Japan as a possible host.[5] Japan was the officially announced as host on 8 February 2012.[2]

Bids and hosting problems

Vietnam had originally won the right the host the tournament. However, Vietnam had to withdraw its bid because it couldn't guarantee government backing and found the FIFA bid process "taxing".[6]

New Zealand had initially been asked to be ready as a backup venue,[7] but were eventually awarded the Men's 2015 FIFA U-20 World Cup and FIFA then awarded the right to host the games to Uzbekistan. However, in its meeting in Tokyo on December 2011, FIFA's Executive Committee decided to cancel Uzbekistan's hosting of the tournament due to "a number of logistical and technical issues", and announced Japan had been proposed as the its new organizer.[5]

The Uzbekistan Football Federation had recommended six cities to host games. They are Tashkent, Samarkand, Bukhara, Qarshi, Mubarek and Guzar.[8] The competition would have taken place in Tashkent's Pakhtakor and Bunyodkor Stadiums, Samarkand's Olympic Stadium, Bukhara's Markaziy Stadium, Qarshi's Stadium, Mubarek's Bahrom Vafoev Stadium and Guzar's Stadium.
