The draw, which took place in Bogota on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, revealed the composition of the now-expanded 24-team tournament.
Yusif Basigi’s squad, making their seventh consecutive appearance in the World Cup, faces a challenging group stage as they aim to advance in the competition.
The Black Princesses secured their spot in the U-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup earlier in January with a dominant 7-1 aggregate victory over Senegal in the final round of qualifiers.
