Unbeaten Chad topped the four-team table at the FIFA Unites: Women’s Series 2025, securing first place with a 1-0 victory over Tunisia in the round-robin finale. The tournament in Berrechid, Morocco, marked historic debuts, including Afghan Women United's first international win. Chad and Libya will enter the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking for the first time.
The FIFA Unites: Women’s Series 2025 wrapped up on Saturday in Berrechid, Morocco, offering breakthrough opportunities for women's teams in a sanctioned international tournament. Chad emerged as champions with three wins in three matches, capping their run with a narrow 1-0 defeat of Tunisia at the Stade Municipal de Berrechid. Tunisia, ranked 96th in the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking and participants in the 2022 and 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, entered as favorites, but Chad's unranked squad demonstrated the rapid growth in women's football.
Afghan Women United made a poignant debut, representing Afghanistan under the FIFA Strategy for Action for Afghan Women’s Football. Formed after summer trials in Australia and England, the team is led by head coach Pauline Hamill of Scotland and assistant Shilene Booysen of South Africa. They scored their first tournament goal in an opening loss to Chad and celebrated history with a 7-0 victory over Libya in their finale, marking the team's first win on the global stage.
The event highlighted emerging talent, with all four nations—Chad, Libya, Afghan Women United, and Tunisia—achieving milestones. Chad and Libya's performances ensure their inclusion in the next FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking, a first for both.
