2014 Summer Youth Olympics
boysgirls

The girls' football tournament at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics took place at the Wutaishan Stadium and the Jiangning Sports Center, both located in Nanjing, China, between 14–26 August 2014.[2]

Each match lasted 80 minutes, consisting of two periods of 40 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes.[3]

Participating teams

[edit]

One team from each continental confederation participated in the tournament.[4] The same country may not participate in both the boys' and girls' tournament. As hosts, China was given Asia's spot to compete in the girls' tournament (and thus could not participate in the boys' tournament). Teams may qualify through preliminary competitions, or be nominated for participation by their confederation, with the invited teams ratified by FIFA during their meeting in Zürich on 3–4 October 2013.

Group stage

[edit]

The draw was held at the Hilton Hotel in Nanjing on 14 May 2014.[12] The winners and runners-up of each group advance to the semi-finals. The rankings of teams in each group are determined as follows:[3]

  1. points obtained in all group matches;
  2. goal difference in all group matches;
  3. number of goals scored in all group matches;

If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings are determined as follows:

  2. goal difference in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  3. number of goals scored in the group matches between the teams concerned;
  4. drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.
