Morocco's national women's football team coach Jorge Vilda expressed his determination to secure the bronze medal in the third-place match of the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) against Algeria. The match is scheduled for Saturday at the Stade Olympique in Rabat.
Speaking at a press conference on the eve of the game, Vilda emphasized the team's focus and commitment to finishing the tournament on a high note. He acknowledged the strength of the Algerian side but stressed his confidence in his players' abilities.
The Atlas Lionesses reached the semifinals but were unable to advance to the final. The team now aims to end their campaign with a victory and secure a podium finish in front of their home crowd.
This match marks an important moment for Moroccan women's football, which has seen significant growth in recent years. A win would not only secure a medal but also boost the team's morale ahead of future international competitions.
