FIFA has unveiled the official mascot for the 2025 U-17 Women’s World Cup, set to take place in Morocco from October 17 to November 8. Meet Tila—a sleek, spirited character modeled after the caracal, a wild feline native to Africa known for its strength, elegance, and agility. Her name, drawn from the Amazigh word “tala,” meaning “mountain,” pays tribute to Morocco’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
In its official announcement, FIFA emphasized that Tila is more than just a playful mascot—she represents the grace, determination, and vibrant energy of the young athletes who will soon take the field. Much like the caracal that inspired her, Tila embodies alertness, agility, and a dynamic spirit—traits that fans can expect to see on full display throughout the tournament.
This edition of the U-17 Women’s World Cup marks a historic milestone as the first ever to be hosted in North Africa. Twenty-four teams from across the globe will compete for the title, with matches played in several Moroccan cities. The capital, Rabat, will be one of the key venues, hosting many matches at the iconic Olympic Stadium.
But Tila isn’t just a symbol of the competition—she’s also meant to unify and energize fans. Throughout the tournament, she’ll be on hand to help build excitement, bring people together, and contribute to the festival-like atmosphere that FIFA events are known for.
As anticipation builds, FIFA is encouraging fans to secure their seats early. Tickets for this landmark event are now available at FIFA.com/tickets.
