History
American Samoa is known as one of the worst football teams in the world. In that perspective their debut at the OFC U-20 Women's Championship was quite good. They made their debut in 2002 at the first tournament ever held. They managed to draw two times with only one loss: just 2-0 against giants New Zealand. The team managed to score two goals in their 2-2 draw against Samoa. They ended up 3 out of 4 in the group, above Fiji.
Eight years later, in 2010, the team struggled a whole lot more. They lost all their three games: two 4-0 defeats against Tonga and the Cook Islands and an 8-0 defeat against New Zealand.
After two tournaments the American Samoa team has never won and just scored two goals. However they will participate again in 2019.
