Morocco's women's national team forward Sakina Ouzraoui called on Moroccan fans to rally behind the Lionnes de l'Atlas ahead of their decisive match against Senegal on Monday, August 3, 2026. Speaking at a pre-match press conference in Rabat on Sunday, Ouzraoui emphasized the importance of home support in securing qualification.
The match is part of the group stage of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) 2026, hosted by Morocco. The Lionnes need a positive result to advance to the knockout rounds. Ouzraoui, who plays for a European club, stressed that the team draws strength from the crowd's energy.
"We need our fans behind us," Ouzraoui said, according to reports. "Their support can make the difference in such a crucial game." The Moroccan team has been preparing intensively for the encounter, aiming to build on their previous performances in the tournament.
Kickoff is scheduled for Monday evening at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat. A win or draw would likely secure Morocco's place in the quarter-finals, while a loss could complicate their path.
