Morocco women's national football team coach Jorge Vilda said he expects a difficult match in the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), according to a press conference on July 29, 2026. Vilda praised the team's strong start in the tournament but emphasized the need for focus.
The Spanish coach, who led Morocco to the round of 16 in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, is preparing his squad for a crucial group stage match. The exact opponent and date were not specified in the source article.
Morocco is hosting the 2026 WAFCON, which runs from July 5 to July 26, 2026. The Atlas Lionesses are seeking to build on their runner-up finish in the 2022 edition, where they lost to South Africa in the final.
Vilda's comments come as the team aims to secure a spot in the knockout stages. The tournament also serves as a qualifier for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup.
