It's the ⇱FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Poland 2026👚 - quarter-finals.
The tournament runs Sep 5-27, with quarter-finals Sep 19-20.
Today - Saturday, Sep 19
2 games played in Poland, morning / early afternoon Brazil time:
1. Korea Republic 1-3 Italy - 10:00 AM -03
Final: Korea Republic 1 — Italy 3
Italy back in back-to-back U-20 quarter-finals for first time. They controlled after ⇱Korea's👚 early press and advance to the semis.
2. Brazil 0-1 Spain - 1:30 PM -03
Final: Brazil 0 — Spain 1
Tough one for ⇱Brazil👚. Spain came in as reigning European U-19 champions and kept their low-block + transition game. Brazil had possession but couldn't break down Spain's defense. ⇱Spain👚 meets ⇱Italy👚 in semi-final.
So semi-final 1 is set: Italy vs Spain
Tomorrow - Sunday, Sep 20
3. Nigeria vs Colombia - 10:00 AM -03
At Stadion Miejski ŁKS, Łódź
Nigeria's Falconets are flying - just beat ⇱England👚 3-0 in Round of 16 with goals from Rafiu, Akekoromowei and Mamudu. They were runners-up twice before and looked ruthless. ⇱Colombia👚 beat hosts ⇱Poland👚1-0 with an 86th minute winner to get here.
Expectation: Very even. ⇱Nigeria👚 has firepower and physicality, Colombia has discipline and set-piece threat. Slight edge to Nigeria due to momentum.
4. Canada vs DPR Korea (North Korea) - 1:30 PM -03
⇱Canada👚 beat ⇱France👚 3-1 in R16, ⇱North Korea👚 beat Japan 2-0. North Korea are defending U-20 Women's World Cup champions and always dangerous in this age group - organized, fast counters.
Expectation: North Korea are favorites, but Canada has been the surprise of the tournament. If Canada can survive the first 30 mins of high press, they have a chance.
Winners tomorrow play each other in semi-final on Sep 23/24.
