The draw for the tournament was held in Poland on Friday, May 15, ahead of the competition scheduled for September 5 to 27, 2026.

The Black Princesses will come up against European powerhouse France women's national under-20 football team, Asian side South Korea women's national under-20 football team and South American representatives Ecuador women's national under-20 football team in what is expected to be a highly competitive group.

Despite their regular appearances, the Black Princesses are yet to progress beyond the group phase of the competition and will be hoping to make history in Poland.
