U19 Women’s World Cup: current standings

Today the teams are enjoying a well-earned rest day, taking the chance to re-group, celebrate, commiserate and – in some cases – working out an entirely new strategy before heading into the final day of the group stages.

It’s been a great tournament so far with many teams demonstrating an incredible talent and flare that’s great to see at a younger level. If this competition is anything to go by, the senior World Championships in 2012 are going to be amazing.

We’ve put together the current league standings so that you can see where the teams are currently placed in their groups and compare score lines etc.
