Match Preview
The match replays one of the best games of the 2025 tournament. Canada won all three of their group matches in Morocco last year, then beat Zambia 6-0 in the Round of 16, before Brazil ended their run in the quarterfinals, advancing 5-4 on penalties after a 0-0 draw.
Brazil went on to finish fourth, their best result at this tournament. They arrive in Morocco as South American champions, after Rilany Silva’s squad won the Sudamericano Sub-17 in Paraguay in May, the country’s sixth continental title at this level.
Group C leaves little margin for error. Norway and Ghana meet in the group’s other opener later on Sunday, and only the top two finishers are guaranteed a place in the Round of 16, with the four best third-placed teams across the tournament also advancing.
Recent Form
Canada were perfect in Concacaf qualifying, beating Nicaragua 5-0, the Dominican Republic 7-0 and El Salvador 5-0 to top their group. Jen Herst’s squad then tested itself in August against three World Cup teams, beating Chile, drawing with Mexico and losing to the United States.
Key Storylines
Four Canadians are back. Mélyna Alexis, Gabriela Istocki, Lacey Kindel and Reed Tingley all played at Morocco 2025 and return for Canada. Istocki, an AFC Toronto Academy midfielder, scored four goals during the qualifying campaign.
Brazil’s production line. Brazil keep producing elite talent at this level, and the South American champions start as one of the favorites to reach the final weekend in Rabat. Beating the team they only eliminated on penalties a year ago would underline that status.
The champions set the standard. Korea DPR, winners of this tournament in 2024 and 2025, opened their title defense on Saturday with a 6-0 win over Puerto Rico. That is the level waiting for whichever teams come out of Group C later this month.
