The Saudi Arabia U-20 women's national football team (Arabic: منتخب السعودي لكرة القدم للإناث ما تحت 20 سنة) represents Saudi Arabia in international women's football for under 20. The team is controlled by the Saudi Arabian Football Federation (SAFF), the governing body for football in Saudi Arabia.

Colloquially called "the Green Falcons", Saudi Arabia played their first match in 2024 against Mauritania in a 3–0 friendly win in Saudi Arabia.

History

In December 2023, the Saudi Arabian Football Federation announced the establishment of the under-20 national team following the establishment of the under-17 team and several friendly games.[1] Coached by former Scotland player Pauline Hamill, on 9 March 2024,[2] Saudi Arabia played – and won – their first-ever game against Mauritania 3–0.[3]
