Guatemala, which had one of the youngest teams at January's CONCACAF Olympic women's qualifying, will take six players from Vancouver to the Under-20 Women's Championship, led by forward Maria Monterroso, daughter of coach Benjamin Monterroso. Guatemala, which played in the CONCACAF U-20 women's for the first time in 2010 when it hosted the event, qualified on its own this time, finishing atop its qualifying group that included Costa Rica and Honduras. This time it will have to face the defending champion United States and host Panama in the first round
