From 17 October to 7 November 2026, the Kingdom is hosting the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. The competition highlights the quality of national infrastructure and confirms Moroccan mastery in organising major events.
The Kingdom is establishing itself in spectacular fashion as one of international sport’s essential crossroads. From 17 October to 7 November 2026, the final phase of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup brings together the 24 best national teams on the planet in Morocco. Beyond the remarkable sporting performances recorded on the pitch, this global competition shines the world football spotlight on the country’s modern, world-class infrastructure. At the heart of this major logistical framework, the Mohammed VI Football Complex provides delegations with state-of-the-art facilities that scrupulously meet the strictest requirements of world football’s governing body.
The Mohammed VI Complex as a model of centralized infrastructure
The centralized organization of the tournament around the Mohammed VI Football Complex offers an exceptional environment for preparation and competition. Bringing together international-standard training pitches, high-end accommodation, tailored dining areas, physical preparation rooms, and a cutting-edge medical center on a single site, the Moroccan infrastructure guarantees optimal comfort for players and staff. This format also allows the public and recruiters to follow several major fixtures in a single day. Won over by this know-how and organizational mastery, FIFA has entrusted the Kingdom with hosting this competition for five consecutive editions until 2029.
Continental reach and a springboard towards the 2030 World Cup
This multi-year hosting award allows the country to test and perfect its operational setups ahead of co-hosting the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal. The event also serves as a formidable showcase for African football, which achieves a historic performance with four of its five representatives qualifying for the round of 16, namely Morocco, Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. By placing its technical expertise and world-class equipment at the service of the continent, the Kingdom provides striking proof that Africa possesses all the assets needed to organize the planet’s greatest events.
