Morocco trailed 4-0 at half-time. Yu Jong-hyang and Kim Won-sim each scored twice before the interval; Ri Ui-gyong and Ri Kyong-im added the second-half goals.

The result ends the hosts’ campaign after they reached the knockout stage. DPR Korea continue their title defence and will face the winner of Spain–United States in the quarter-finals. The outcome of that match had not been established at the time of this update.

U17 Women’s World Cup: Morocco loses to Argentina and awaits other groups

Morocco lost 5-1 to Argentina in Salé on 23 October 2026 in its final Group A match at the U17 Women’s World Cup. It finished third on three points, according to the reports consulted.

Nessma Mouradi scored Morocco’s goal. Germany and Argentina occupy the group’s top two places.

Progress as one of the best third-placed teams depends on other groups. The sources consulted after this match do not establish Morocco’s definitive qualification or elimination; third place alone does not settle that question.

Nessma Mouradi scored both Moroccan goals. Germany recorded a second victory in the tournament.

The defeat followed Morocco’s opening win against New Zealand. It did not by itself settle Morocco’s final qualification; the third matchday and results from other groups still had to be considered.
