2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying play-offs

Overview

The preliminary phase of the qualifying play-offs for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil is organized to take place in Rabat, Morocco. The first round is scheduled from late November to early December 2026, featuring six national teams: Taiwan, Ecuador, Ghana, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, and Uzbekistan.

Ecuadorian head coach Eva Espejo has detailed the team's preparations for this critical phase. Following a fourth-place finish in the inaugural Women's Nations League, the Ecuadorian squad aims to advance to the final stage, which is scheduled for February to March 2027. If successful, Espejo would become the first coach to lead Ecuador to a second senior women's World Cup appearance.

The two teams with the best records from the Moroccan tournament will advance to the final play-off stage to determine further qualifiers.
