Moroccan refereeing will feature in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, hosted by the kingdom from October 17 to November 8, 2026, with the participation of 24 teams. This historic edition marks the first time that this number of teams will compete, with all matches taking place in Rabat.
Alongside the Moroccan players participating in the tournament, national refereeing talents are highlighted by international referee Zoulika Harmas, who has held her international status since 2024, and assistant referee Ihsan Nwajli, who has been international since 2019.
The participation of these two referees reflects the development of women's refereeing in Morocco and strengthens the presence of Moroccan talents in international sporting events. It also serves as an inspiration for girls who wish to enter the field of refereeing and contribute to the advancement of women's football at both the continental and international levels.
