Morocco's women's national football team, the Lionnes de l'Atlas, have returned to their training base in Maâmora to step up preparations for the 2026 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The new training camp comes more than a month after their previous gathering, during which the team recorded two victories against Cape Verde.
Head coach Jorge Vilda, who took charge of the Moroccan women's side after his tenure with the Spanish national team, has maintained a largely consistent squad selection for this camp. The technical staff is focused on fine-tuning tactical organization and building team cohesion ahead of the continental tournament.
Morocco has been one of the rising forces in African women's football in recent years, having reached the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 round of 16 — a historic achievement for the nation. The team is eager to translate that momentum into a strong performance at the upcoming AFCON.
The Maâmora training center, located near Kenitra, serves as the Moroccan football federation's primary preparation hub for national teams. The coaching staff is expected to use this camp to assess player form and finalize tactical systems before the competition begins.
