Brazil and Nigeria meet for the last place in the Morocco 2026 final

Brazil and Nigeria meet in the second semi-final of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Morocco 2026, with the winner joining Japan in the final.

A place in the final

Brazil and Nigeria are the remaining teams in the second Morocco 2026 semi-final. Japan have already reached the final after beating DPR Korea on penalties, so this match decides Japan's opponent. This is a preview: no Brazil-Nigeria result is reported before an official final whistle.

Brazil's unbeaten route

Brazil began with a 6–2 win over Canada, drew 3–3 with Ghana and 3–3 with Poland, then came from behind to beat China PR 2–1 in the quarter-final. FIFA's preview describes an unbeaten side that has had to recover in several close matches.

Nigeria's knockout momentum

Nigeria lost 2–1 to Poland in the opening match, then beat Puerto Rico 2–0, DPR Korea 3–1, Mexico 2–1 and Venezuela 1–0. Azeezat Oduntan's 89th-minute penalty settled the quarter-final against Venezuela, according to FIFA's match coverage.

What is confirmed and what is not

FIFA and the Asian Football Confederation both identify Brazil–Nigeria as the second semi-final and the winner's route into the final. The sources consulted do not yet establish a final score, finalist or kickoff outcome, so this article will not predict one.
