Morocco’s women’s football team coach Jorge Vilda commended his players after their 0-0 draw with Senegal on Monday at Moulay El Hassan Stadium for achieving the team’s primary objective of reaching the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) quarterfinals. Vilda said Morocco delivered a solid performance in defense, attacking transitions, and one-on-one duels, but called for greater efficiency in front of goal as the tournament enters the knockout stage. Morocco completed the group stage without conceding a goal, giving the Atlas Lionesses one of the tournament’s strongest defensive records. Morocco will play its quarterfinal Saturday at Moulay El Hassan Stadium, seeking a place in the semifinals and direct qualification for the FIFA Women’s World Cup. Morocco scored five goals, conceded none, and went into the quarterfinals unbeaten.
