No fewer than seven countries have booked their tickets for the 24-team expanded FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup holding from October 17 to November 8, 2025 in the Kingdom of Morocco in Africa.

Prompt News reports that host nation Morocco and six other countries from Asia Football Confederation (AFC) namely China, Japan, North Korea and South Korea have already qualified for the tournament.

Also, two countries from the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC), New Zealand and Samoa have booked their tickets to participate in the global women’s football fiesta being staged in the African soil for the first time-ever later in the year.

Meanwhile, Nigeria will start her African qualifiers from the second round which starts in the weekend of March 7 to 9, 2025 against the winner of the Gabon versus South Africa two-legged first round matches which will be concluded on January 19, 2025.

In the same vein, the four representatives of South America (CONMEBOL) and five teams representing Europe (UEFA) in the tournament will emerge from the 2025 South American U-17 Women’s Championship in Colombia in May and 2025 UEFA U-17 Women’s Championship in Faroe Islands from May 6 to 16, 2025.

These milestones reflect Morocco’s growing passion for the sport and its commitment to bringing major football events to the region.
