Argentina U-17 draw Ghana in Women’s World Cup last 16.

A confirmed knockout match in Morocco

Argentina’s women’s U-17 national team will face Ghana on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 at the Mohammed VI Complex in the round of 16 of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup Morocco 2026, according to the Argentine Football Association.

The kickoff time should be treated with caution: AFA listed the match for 3 p.m., while FIFA’s schedule reviewed for Match 37, the 2A v 2C tie, lists 6 p.m. Because of that difference, the official schedule should be checked before the match.

AFA also said the match will be shown by DSports and TV Pública. The confirmation follows Argentina’s qualification in its first appearance at this World Cup category.

How Argentina reached the knockout stage

Christian Meloni’s team advanced after beating Morocco 5-1 in the final group-stage match. AFA recorded that result as the one that secured Argentina’s place in the last 16.

Mercedes Diz was one of the central figures in that match: AFA reported that she scored three goals against Morocco and received the Player of the Match distinction; FIFA also listed her as Player of the Match for that game.

Argentina’s campaign carries an important background note: AFA identifies this as the national team’s first FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup. That makes the match against Ghana a new step for a youth squad already extending its tournament beyond the opening group.

What to watch before Wednesday

The preview is built around two firm details and one caveat: the opponent is confirmed, AFA has named the venue, and the kickoff time still needs checking because the available sources differ.

For viewers in Argentina, AFA listed TV Pública and DSports as broadcasters. As with any international youth tournament, it is worth checking the schedules on matchday in case of programming changes.
