WORLD CUP​

Brazil and Argentina have already qualified for the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, which will be played in Morocco between October and November this year. Their spots were secured along with qualification for the South American final.

There are still two spots left for South America, which will be filled by the winners of the matchups between Venezuela vs. Colombia and Chile vs. Ecuador. While Venezuela and Chile lost in the semifinals and will have a second chance to reach the World Cup, Colombia and Ecuador finished third in Groups A and B, respectively, and therefore have the opportunity to fight for qualification.
