Morocco's national women's football team coach, Jorge Vilda, stated on Friday in Rabat that the Lionnes de l'Atlas are preparing with determination to secure the bronze medal at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), which is being hosted by Morocco.
Speaking at a press conference, Vilda emphasized the team's focus and commitment ahead of the classification match. The exact opponent and date of the match have not been confirmed yet, as the tournament is ongoing.
The 2026 WAFCON is being held in Morocco, marking the second consecutive time the country hosts the continental championship. The tournament serves as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Vilda, who took charge of the Moroccan team in 2024, has been working to build on the team's historic run to the round of 16 at the 2023 Women's World Cup. The team's performance in the current tournament has been closely followed by Moroccan fans.
