Abdeslam Tahir, coach of Wydad Casablanca's women's team, expressed confidence that Morocco's national women's team, the Lionnes de l'Atlas, has all the ingredients to win their first Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) title. In an exclusive interview with Le360 Sport, Tahir highlighted the team's recent progress and the growing strength of Moroccan women's football.
Morocco has made significant strides in women's football, notably reaching the final of the 2022 Women's AFCON and hosting the tournament. The team also participated in the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, marking their first appearance. These achievements have boosted confidence in the squad's potential to clinch the continental title.
Tahir praised the development of the women's game in Morocco, citing increased investment, better training facilities, and a competitive domestic league. He noted that the national team's success has inspired a new generation of female players across the country.
The next Women's AFCON is scheduled to take place in 2026, though the exact dates and host country are yet to be confirmed. Morocco's Lionnes will aim to build on their recent performances and secure their first continental crown.
