Japan was the defending champion from the previous tournament. The first match of the tournament was between Costa Rica and Australia, played at Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica in San José. The final took place on 28th August 2022. Something special happened in this tournament: it was the first time in the history of FIFA youth tournaments (both for men and women) where the same two teams met again in the final, two times in a row.
