The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has introduced Tila, the official mascot for the U17 Women's World Cup, scheduled to take place in Morocco from October 17 to November 8, 2025. «Tila captures the natural elegance of the caracal, a wild cat species native to several regions, including Morocco. Her name is inspired by 'tala', meaning 'mountain' in various languages spoken by the Amazigh communities of the country. This name subtly references nature and quiet strength», explained the global football governing body in a press release. «Much like the caracal, the friendly mascot is gentle yet distinguished by her power, agility, and sharp senses. She boasts remarkable jumping ability, excellent vision, and her movements are consistently graceful, traits expected to be showcased on Moroccan fields in the coming days», the statement continued. This marks the first time a FIFA women's competition will be hosted in a North African country. The tournament will gather the top 24 national U17 women's teams from across the globe to vie for the championship title in various Moroccan cities, including Rabat. A true celebration of young talent, the event required a mascot that embodies femininity: a fusion of strength and gentleness. The mascot will engage with fans throughout the tournament, bringing energy to the stadiums, particularly the Olympic Stadium in Rabat, which will host several key matches. FIFA encourages those eager to witness this historic event to secure their tickets through the official FIFA website at FIFA.com/tickets.
