Chile to host FIFA U-20 World Cup 2025\u2122 (www.FIFA.com<\/a><\/em>) and Poland to host FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup 2026\u2122;\u00a0Framework for training compensation system for women\u2019s football approved.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The FIFA Council met ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup 2023\u2122 semi-finals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with youth competitions an important item on the agenda, as Chile was unanimously appointed as the host of the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2025\u2122 and Poland as the host of the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup 2026\u2122.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 1962, Chile has organised FIFA events at the highest level, most recently the FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2015. The country\u2019s organisational experience coupled with the passion of the Chilean fans will provide a fantastic setting for the stars of tomorrow,\u201d said FIFA President Gianni Infantino.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoland is a country with a magnificent football tradition and hosted a memorable edition of the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2019, in which emerging stars like Erling Haaland made a great impression. Hosting the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup 2026 will be a new milestone in Poland\u2019s football history and one that will boost women\u2019s football in the country and across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

The slot allocation for both the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2025 and the FIFA U-20 Women\u2019s World Cup 2026 are the same as each other and remain unchanged from the previous editions of both competitions: AFC: 4; CAF: 4; Concacaf: 4; CONMEBOL: 4; OFC: 2; UEFA: 5; host country: 1.<\/p>\n

As part of FIFA\u2019s efforts to further professionalise the women\u2019s game, the Council also approved the governing framework for a training compensation system for women\u2019s football in order to encourage the development of youth players, protect the investment of the training clubs and contribute to the competitive balance and sustainability of women\u2019s football.<\/p>\n

FIFA will subsequently draft the relevant regulations, and a task force will be established to finalise the technical details.<\/p>\n

With the objective of modernising the applicable regulatory framework for national dispute resolution chambers and to provide clarity and the necessary legal certainty with regard to their jurisdiction and structure, the FIFA Council approved the National Dispute Resolution Chamber Recognition Principles and its Annexe 1 (National Dispute Resolution Chamber Standard Regulations \u2013 2023 edition).<\/p>\n

The dates of the following competitions were included in the respective international match calendars:<\/p>\n
