According to a report by ESPN on Saturday, October 24, 2026, the final Group A standings of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup have been confirmed following Argentina's impressive 5-1 victory over hosts Morocco and Germany's 2-0 win against New Zealand.

The results brought the group-stage campaign to an end, with Germany finishing as group winners, Argentina securing second place, Morocco occupying third position, and New Zealand finishing at the bottom.

Germany emerged as the strongest team in Group A after winning all three matches. The European side accumulated nine points, scoring eight goals and conceding three, leaving them with a positive goal difference of five.

Their final group fixture against New Zealand ended in a comfortable 2-0 victory, with Laura Ernst opening the scoring during first-half stoppage time before Clara Choisy doubled Germany's advantage in the 56th minute.

Argentina finished second with six points from three matches, recording two victories and one defeat. The South American side scored eight goals and conceded three, giving them a goal difference of plus five.

Their impressive 5-1 victory over Morocco proved decisive in securing automatic qualification for the knockout stage.

Morocco finished third with three points after recording one victory and two defeats. The hosts scored seven goals and conceded nine, leaving them with a negative goal difference of two.

Despite beginning their campaign with an impressive 4-0 victory over New Zealand, Morocco subsequently suffered defeats against Germany and Argentina.

However, Morocco still have an opportunity to reach the Round of 16 through the ranking of the best third-placed teams, depending on results from the remaining groups.

New Zealand finished fourth without securing a single point. The team lost all three matches, failed to score a goal and conceded eight, resulting in a goal difference of minus eight.
