At least seven countries have qualified for the intercontinental play-offs ahead of the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
Ghana and South Africa have been confirmed as Africa’s representatives on Thursday, following their wins over Ivory Coast and Nigeria, respectively.
They will face any of the following teams in the first round: Chinese Taipei, Uzbekistan, Ecuador, Venezuela and Papua New Guinea.
Only two teams will advance from the first round.
They will then join four countries from UEFA, OFC and CONMEBOL that have been exempted from the first round and will enter directly at the final play-off stage.
The six teams will be drawn into three paths, with a single knockout match in each path determining the final three teams to qualify for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027.
