The U-20 team under Ana Galindo seeks to continue the positive momentum of the last year of women’s soccer at the 2024 World Cup in Colombia. After a 2022 to forget, in which the senior team was left out of the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand and the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the new management led by Andrea Rodebaugh as director of women’s national teams righted the course after winning the first gold in the history of women’s soccer at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago. In the first edition of the W Gold Cup, the Concacaf continental tournament held in February 2024, El Tri reached the semifinals where they were eliminated by Brazil (0-3); however, they achieved a historic victory against the United States (2-0) and demonstrated a renewed ability to compete at the highest level.
The 2024 U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia is the first edition of the tournament with 24 teams, divided into six groups of four members. The top two from each group and the four best third-place finishers will compete in the next phase of the tournament, which begins with the round of 16. El Tri had its best performance as a U-20 women’s national team at the previous World Cup, held in Costa Rica in 2022, when it qualified as second in its group with five points and fell in the first round of direct elimination (the quarter-finals, as it was a tournament held with 16 teams) by the minimum against Spain, the eventual world champions.
