The 2020 South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship is the 9th edition of the South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Femenino Sub-20), the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the women's under-20 national teams of South America.
The tournament was originally scheduled to be held in Argentina between 4–22 March 2020.[1][2] However, after the first stage between 4–14 March was finished, CONMEBOL announced on 12 March 2020 the final stage, originally to be held between 16 and 22 March at the Estadio San Juan del Bicentenario, San Juan, would be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3][4]
On 1 June 2020, CONMEBOL announced that the final stage would be postponed to October.[5] On 6 August 2020, CONMEBOL confirmed that the final stage would be played between 16 and 22 November 2020.[6] On 30 October 2020, CONMEBOL further postponed the final stage to January 2021.[7]
The top two teams of the tournament would have qualified for the 2021 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup (originally 2020 but postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic) in Costa Rica as the CONMEBOL representatives.[8] However, FIFA announced on 17 November 2020 that this edition of the World Cup would be cancelled.[9] After the cancellation of the World Cup, it has not been confirmed if the tournament would still be completed, and as of February 2021, no announcement by CONMEBOL had been made.
Brazil are the defending champions.
