The Chinese Taipei women's national under-20 football team is the national women's youth team representing Taiwan in international football competitions at the under-20 age category. The team is controlled by the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA) and competes in youth tournaments organized by both the Asian Football Confederation and FIFA.
History Chinese Taipei made its debut at the inaugural AFC U-19 Women's Championship in 2002, finishing as runners-up to secure qualification for the first-ever FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup held in Canada. Alongside Japan, they became one of the first Asian teams to qualify for the tournament. In the 2004 edition, the team reached the quarter-finals, marking another strong regional showing. However, in 2006, Chinese Taipei failed to qualify after falling to Japan in the qualifying stage.
Despite returning to the final tournaments in the subsequent two editions, their performances declined. In both campaigns, the team finished bottom of their group without earning a point, struggling against regional rivals from East and Southeast Asia.
From 2009 onwards, Chinese Taipei failed to qualify for the final tournament for the next 15 years, marking a prolonged absence from the continental stage. They made their return in 2024, where they recorded a group stage exit, earning a victory against the host nation but suffering defeats to Australia and Korea Republic.
