The Samoa women's national under-17 football team is the second highest women's youth team of women's football in Samoa. It is controlled by the Football Federation Samoa, the governing body for football in Samoa. The National Soccer Stadium (Samoa) in Apia is Samoa's home ground. It was known as the Western Samoa national football team until 1997. Samoa is a part of the FIFA Goal project.[1]
Samoa participated in the OFC U-17 Women's Championship in 2016 for the first time.[2] It wasn't a huge success as the team suffered three heavy defeats. However, they managed to score a goal by Sophia Aveau against Tonga. The game ended in a 4–1 defeat but Samoa's first and only goal so far was scored. Their biggest success in the tournament was in 2024 when they reached the final. They will take part in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup for the first time ever in 2025 in Morocco.
