Canada has been drawn in Group B with France, Brazil and debutante Fiji for the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
France booked its ticket to Colombia as the fourth-place finisher in last year's UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship. The Canadian women reached the quarterfinals in 2004 and 2014, failing to make it out of the group stage on five other occasions. Spain is the only country to win FIFA Women’s World Cups at the senior, U-20 and U-17 levels and is the reigning champion at all three levels. Spain won the most recent UEFA Women’s U-19 Championship, defeating Germany on penalty kicks.
The Group B winner will face a third-place team while the runner-up will meet the second-place team in Group F .
