"It's a great pleasure to include Toronto in the official host cities for the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup Canada 2014 together with Edmonton, Moncton and Montreal, which will also be part of the coast-to-coast adventure for 2015," said Tatjana Haenni, FIFA's Deputy Director of Competitions for Women's Football.

"Host cities are one of our biggest sources of support when it comes to promoting the competition."

Canada 2014 will mark the seventh edition of the biennial FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup and will be an important part of the build-up to the 2015 Women's World Cup, which is also being staged in Canada.

The inaugural edition of this competition was played in Canada in 2002 - then known as the FIFA Under-19 Women's World Championship.

The most recent edition was played last year in Japan, where the US were crowned for a third time, adding it to the titles they had won in 2002 and 2008.


"The FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup Canada 2014 is another great opportunity for our country and the four host cities to welcome the world and the world's game," said Victor Montagliani, chairman of the National Organising Committee.

"This competition serves as a terrific showcase for the future stars of women's football, with the best often proving that they are ready for the big competition just one year later.
