Scholas and UNTREF present the Women's Under-17 World Cup Morocco 2026, a proposal to learn through football

Under-17 Women's World Cup: football as an educational tool

From Scholas Chairs, together with the National University of Tres de Febrero (UNTREF), we present a new edition of Mundialmática, an educational initiative that invites students and teachers to explore different areas of knowledge through sport.

This time, the proposal is inspired by the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Morocco 2026 and seeks to leverage the interest generated by football to promote new learning experiences inside and outside the classroom.

The initiative is part of a journey that began in 2014, when Scholas organized the World Cup for Education during the World Cup in Brazil, following Pope Francis' initiative to link education and sport as spaces to build a culture of encounter. Since then, we have developed different educational proposals linked to international sports competitions.

26 exercises to learn, play and reflect

The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Morocco 2026 brings together 26 educational exercises that allow addressing content from different areas of knowledge based on situations and themes related to football.

The activities can be adapted to classes of Mathematics, Geography, History, Physical Education and Literature, offering teachers tools to connect curriculum content with current events.

In addition to enriching the educational experience, the material incorporates a gender perspective which invites reflection on the differences between women's and men's football, promoting critical thinking and new conversations in the school environment.

The similar age between the players and the secondary school students allows for new opportunities to identify and reflect on equity, diversity, and coexistence.

Likewise, the World Cup offers an opportunity to learn more about Morocco and the participating countries, bringing students closer to different cultures, histories and realities through the universal language of football.

A free resource open to the entire educational community

With the aim of bringing new tools to schools, the material is available for their use. free and open download and can be used by teachers, students, educational institutions and all interested people.

The guide aims to be a starting point so that each educational community can adapt activities, develop new proposals and generate learning experiences both in the classroom and on the field.

Learning continues towards Brazil 2027

The invitation doesn't end in Morocco. Mundialmática also proposes starting preparations for the 2027 Women's World Cup in Brazil, continuing this experience that combines education, sport, and reflection.

An invitation to learn, play and discover all that football has to teach us.
