Morocco’s under-17 women’s national team continues its preparations for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, which the Kingdom will host for the second consecutive year from October 17 to November 7.

Under head coach Younes Rabii, the players are taking part in regular training sessions to improve their readiness ahead of the global tournament.

Their preparation program includes on-field training, indoor physical conditioning, friendly matches and video analysis sessions. The program is designed to strengthen cohesion within the squad and develop tactical aspects of their game ahead of the competition.

The draw for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, held in Zurich, Switzerland, last May, placed Morocco in Group A alongside Germany, New Zealand and Argentina.
