The Black Maidens have arrived in Rabat from their pre-camp base in Casablanca to commence their 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup campaign.

The team will open their Group C fixtures against Norway on Sunday, October 18, at the Mohammed VI Football Complex. They will then face Brazil on Thursday, October 22, before concluding the group stage against Canada on Saturday, October 24.

During their two-week training camp in Casablanca, the technical team assessed the squad's readiness with two international friendlies against China and Kenya.

The Black Maidens return to the global showpiece after missing the previous edition, aiming to build on a proud record that includes a bronze medal in 2012 and three quarter-final appearances.

The team is expected to hold their first training session in Rabat on Wednesday as they put finishing touches to preparations for the Norway opener.
