The girls' football tournament at the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics took place at the Wutaishan Stadium and the Jiangning Sports Center, both located in Nanjing, China, between 14–26 August 2014.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/15/47/78/yoft_matchschedulemix_fifa19052014_neutral.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140618095528/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/15/47/78/yoft%5fmatchschedulemix%5ffifa19052014%5fneutral.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 18, 2014|title=Match schedule – Youth Olympic Football Tournaments Nanjing 2014|publisher=FIFA.com}}

Each match lasted 80 minutes, consisting of two periods of 40 minutes, with an interval of 15 minutes.{{cite web|title=Regulations – Youth Olympic Football Tournaments Nanjing 2014|url=https://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/26/14/27/yoftregulationenglishweb%5fneutral.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140618131932/http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/02/26/14/27/yoftregulationenglishweb%5fneutral.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 18, 2014|publisher=FIFA.com}}

Participating teams

One team from each continental confederation participated in the tournament.{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/womensyoutholympic/qualifiers/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130906024936/http://www.fifa.com/womensyoutholympic/qualifiers/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 6, 2013|title=Qualifiers – Girls' Youth Olympic Football Tournaments Nanjing 2014|publisher=FIFA.com}} The same country may not participate in both the boys' and girls' tournament. As hosts, China was given Asia's spot to compete in the girls' tournament (and thus could not participate in the boys' tournament). Teams may qualify through preliminary competitions, or be nominated for participation by their confederation, with the invited teams ratified by FIFA during their meeting in Zürich on 3–4 October 2013.
