FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup: The last two tickets up for grabs this Sunday

Morocco 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup qualifiers for the African zone reach their final stop this Sunday. Kenya and Zambia host the return legs of the third and final round today. With just two tickets left for qualification, South Africa and Ethiopia are hoping to turn the tables in their favor.

The Kenyan Junior Starlets go into the match with a comfortable advantage after their 2-0 away win over South Africa. Buoyed by home support, they will go all out to secure qualification on their own turf. As for South Africa, they have no choice but to attack and try to pull off the impossible comeback.

A similar scenario is unfolding in Zambia, where the Copper Princesses hold a slim 2-1 advantage after the first leg against Ethiopia. The narrow margin gives the Ethiopians every hope of turning things around in the return leg.

At the end of these two encounters, the qualified teams will join Ghana and Nigeria, who secured their spots on Saturday. Morocco automatically qualifies as the host nation. These five teams will represent the Confederation of African Football (CAF) at the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup 2026, taking place from 17 October to 7 November.
