In the nine previous appearances Canada has had at the Concacaf Women’s U-20 Championship, they’ve faced Jamaica five times with a four-win and one-loss record.

This will mark Canada’s tenth appearance in the competition, having lifted the trophy twice in program history in 2004 and 2008. Players in the competitions are all born in 2004 or later, with each Concacaf nation selecting players for the Concacaf Women’s U-20 Championship.
 
After round-robin play, the two best teams from each group will advance to the competition’s knockout stage. All knockout stage matches (semifinals, third-place match, and final) will be played in a single-match elimination format, with the two finalists and the third-place match winner qualifying for 2024 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
