France’s U-17 women's national team will make its debut in the upcoming 2025 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup, having been drawn into Group D alongside Nigeria and Canada, with Samoa also joining as another newcomer. The draw, held at the Mohammed VI Football Academy in Rabat, Morocco, revealed a competitive landscape for the tournament set to take place from October 17 to November 8, 2025.

This event marks a historic moment as it is the first U-17 Women’s World Cup to feature 24 teams and will be hosted in Africa for the first time. The opening match will pit hosts Morocco against Brazil, signaling the start of this landmark competition.

France's entry into the tournament is particularly exciting as they seek to establish themselves on the world stage. They face formidable challenges in their group, notably from Canada, a strong rival, and Nigeria, who boast a rich history with this being their eighth appearance at the World Cup. The structure of the tournament allows for the top two teams from each group, along with the four best third-placed teams, to advance to the knockout stage, suggesting that every match will be crucial for advancing further into the tournament.
