The U-17 Women’s World Cup 2026 final venue has changed: FIFA says the trophy decider and bronze final on 7 November will take place at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Rabat. Both were previously scheduled for Prince Moulay El Hassan Stadium. The date and kick-off times remain unchanged, and tickets already purchased for the two games remain valid. For supporters planning the final day, the practical change is where to go.
- Both final-day matches are at Mohammed VI Football Complex.
- The bronze final starts at 15:00 GMT on 7 November.
- The final follows at 18:30 GMT on the same day.
- FIFA says existing ticket holders will receive an email about the switch.
What the dated FIFA announcement changes
The organiser’s 28 October venue announcement is the key update for these two fixtures. It moves both games from the previously announced stadium to the complex. It does not announce a different matchday or new start times. Keeping those details separate makes it easier to update a travel plan without mistakenly changing the whole schedule.
Older search results, saved articles or screenshots may still name the previous venue. Their continued presence does not cancel the later announcement. Before setting out, compare the date of the information with FIFA’s current guidance. In this case, the dated venue update answers a specific question that an older tournament overview may no longer answer correctly.
The 7 November timetable, explicitly in GMT
| Match | Date | Kick-off | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze final | 7 November 2026 | 15:00 GMT | Mohammed VI Football Complex |
| Final | 7 November 2026 | 18:30 GMT | Mohammed VI Football Complex |
The timezone label is part of the information. A football page may display a time converted for the device viewing it, while an announcement may quote GMT. Our table retains the organiser’s stated GMT times. When adding either match to a calendar, select the timezone deliberately rather than assuming every displayed clock uses the same reference.
For a group attending together, share the match name, date, time and venue in one message. That is editorial planning advice, not an additional FIFA entry rule. It reduces the chance that one person keeps an old stadium address while another updates only the kick-off time. Recheck the official schedule close to departure because event information can change.
Existing tickets remain valid at the new location
FIFA says supporters who already bought tickets for the bronze final or final will be notified by email and that those tickets remain valid for the complex. The announcement directs sales enquiries to FIFA’s official ticket portal. That statement should not be expanded into a promise about a particular price, category or remaining seat availability.
Our practical suggestion is to check the email address used for the purchase, including its spam folder, and retain access to the booking information. If the details in a ticket account remain unclear, use the organiser’s support route. This article does not introduce a ticket replacement requirement or claim a refund entitlement that the venue announcement has not specified.
The complex is part of the tournament’s wider setup
The competition runs from 17 October to 7 November with 24 teams, as explained in FIFA’s official tournament and squad information. The venue update also describes the complex’s multiple-pitch arrangement and a dedicated fan zone. These help explain the setting, while the current ticket and match information should guide an individual visit.
Final-day pairings should be checked through the organiser’s current bracket rather than inferred from a quarter-final preview. Our earlier Nigeria and Ghana tournament report covers their progress to the last eight. It supplies background; it is not a substitute for the latest result or the confirmed participants in either final-day game.
A short check before leaving for the match
Confirm the event, updated location and timezone, then consult the latest access information attached to the booking. We have not verified a particular gate, parking area, transport timetable or bag policy, so those details belong with the organiser. Our upcoming matches page and women’s football coverage offer further context, with live-data coverage subject to availability.
