The tournament was held in Uruguay from 13 November to 1 December 2018.[1][2] North Korea were the defending champions but were eliminated by Spain in the quarter-finals.
The final took place at the Estadio Charrúa, Montevideo between Spain and Mexico a rematch from the group stage in 2016. Spain won their first title, beating Mexico 2–1.
On 6 March 2014, FIFA announced that bidding had begun for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. Member associations interested in hosting must submit a declaration of interest by 15 April 2014, and provide the complete set of bidding documents by 31 October 2014.[3]
The following countries made official bids for hosting the tournament:[4]
The decision on the hosts was originally to be made at the FIFA Executive Committee meeting on 19–20 March 2015,[5] but no announcement was made after the meeting.
During FIFA president Gianni Infantino's visit to Uruguay in March 2016, Uruguay showed interest in organizing the event.[6] The FIFA Council appointed Uruguay as host on 10 May 2016.[1] This was the first FIFA tournament held in the country since the first men's World Cup in 1930, and the first FIFA women's event held in Uruguay.
A total of 16 teams qualify for the final tournament. In addition to Uruguay who qualified automatically as hosts, the other 15 teams qualify from six separate continental competitions. The slot allocation was approved by the FIFA Council on 13–14 October 2016.[7]
