The race for qualification to the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Morocco 2026 begins this Friday, with 24 African nations entering the first round of qualifiers across the continent.
The tournament, scheduled to take place from 17 October to 7 November 2026 in Morocco, will see five African teams — including the host nation — secure places at the global finals.
With home-and-away ties spread over several days, teams will be aiming to gain early advantages in the first-leg fixtures before decisive return matches.
