The African U-17 Women's World Cup qualification is a biennial youth women's association football qualification competition for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup organized by the Confederation of African Football for its nations.
History
With the imminent inauguration of the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in 2008, CAF began organizing a qualification competition that year with 12 teams entering its debut edition, but 5 withdrew before playing.[1] On 19 January 2010, CAF released the fixtures for the second edition of this competition.[2] Ten teams entered that edition, but only five played matches; Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa qualified for that year's FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.[3] On 7 June 2023, CAF revealed the formats for the qualification procedures for the next editions of the FIFA U-17 and U-20 Women's World Cups,[4] the former whose draw was conducted the following day.[5]
