The 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup final was the final match of the 2018 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in France. The match was played at the Stade de la Rabine, located in Vannes, on 24 August 2018 and was contested by Spain and Japan. Japan won the match 3–1. It was Japan's first FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup title, making them the second Asian national team to ever win the trophy, after North Korea, who won it on 2006 and 2016. Coupled with North Korea's triumph in 2016, it was the only time where back-to-back tournaments were won by teams of the same confederation (AFC). With this result, Japan become the first nation to win all FIFA Women's World Cup titles: U-17, U-20, and senior.
