Women’s U-20 World Cup remain on schedule

Poland's national football federation has announced that preparations for the upcoming Under-20 Women's World Cup, set to take place in September, are on track. The tournament, slated to become the first FIFA event amid ongoing controversy surrounding FIFA chief Gianni Infantino, will mark a significant milestone for many young players.

New Zealand and France have both confirmed their participation in the 24-team competition, which runs from September 5 to 27. England's Football Association and Canadian Soccer have yet to provide a statement, while the United States has not yet commented on their attendance. UEFA has maintained its stance against attending FIFA events, urging boycott following Infantino's controversial proposal to sell 20% of the World Cup's commercial rights to private investors.
