The 2018 African U-17 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament was the 6th edition of the African U-17 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament, the biennial international youth football competition organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to determine which women's under-17 national teams from Africa qualify for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup.
Players born on or after 1 January 2001 are eligible to compete in the tournament. Three teams qualify from this tournament for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay as the CAF representatives.[1]
For the first time Nigeria failed to qualify for the Women's World Cup at any age level (senior, U-20 or U-17).
