Morocco's women's national team coach, Jorge Vilda, has set his sights on securing the bronze medal at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (CAN féminine). The team will face Algeria in the third-place playoff, a match that carries significant weight for both nations.
Vilda, who took charge of Morocco in 2024, has been vocal about his ambition to finish the tournament on a high note. The Atlas Lionesses, who reached the semifinals, were narrowly defeated, but the Spanish tactician remains focused on the upcoming fixture against Algeria.
The match is scheduled to take place in Morocco, which is hosting the tournament. Algeria, a rising force in African women's football, will be eager to claim a podium finish. The encounter promises to be a competitive clash, with both teams aiming to end their campaign with a victory.
Morocco's performance in this tournament has been closely followed, especially after their impressive run in the 2022 edition where they reached the final. Vilda's experience, having won the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup with Spain, adds a layer of tactical expertise to the Moroccan setup.
