Mexico’s U-17 Women’s National Team achieved a significant breakthrough at the FIFA U 17 Women’s World Cup Morocco 2025 tournament, marking a turning point for youth women’s soccer in Mexico and cementing a message of hope for the Hispanic community in the United States.
During the group stage, Mexico lost its first match 2-0 to North Korea Women’s U-17, the reigning champions of the tournament. That defeat put the team coached by Miguel Gamero in a critical situation, but far from collapsing, the players responded with two late victories against Netherlands Women’s U-17 and Cameroon Women’s U-17. The decisive goal in the match against Cameroon came in the 87th minute from Citlalli Reyes, demonstrating character and resilience.

This result allows Mexico Women’s U-17 to advance to the round of 16, breaking a streak of being left out of the group stage in the previous two editions.
For the U.S. Hispanic community, this achievement represents more than a sporting breakthrough:
It is a symbol of inspiration for young Latinas who dream of playing at the international level, under a flag that represents them and in an environment where the visibility of women’s sports is growing.
In his remarks, Coach Gamero emphasized:
“More than how they see us, it’s how we see ourselves. Mexico is ready to compete against any national team.
Ready for a new challenge

Now, all the focus is on Mexico’s next opponent in the knockout round:
The second place in Group F, which could be either Japan Women’s U-17 or Paraguay Women’s U-17, depending on the results of the last matchday.
The match is scheduled for October 29.
In conclusion: the qualification of Mexico’s U-17 Women’s National Team is not only a sports fact, it is a clear message that Latin talent has a place on the global stage.
