By securing a valuable victory against the Colombian team in the last match of the group stage, the Atlas Lionesses thus confirm the leading position that Moroccan football now occupies on the Arab and continental level, the fruit of a long-term work carried by a perceptive and forward-looking Royal Vision.
The defeat of captain Ghizlane Chebbak’s teammates against the German national team by a large score during the first match of these final stages of the World Cup in no way dampened the determination of the Atlas Lionesses to believe in all their chances of qualifying for the round of 16, even if it is their first participation in this high mass of world football.

Morocco shone brightly during this World Cup and inscribed its name in golden letters in the history of world football by being the first selection to go beyond the group stage during its first participation, an unprecedented feat which rewards the talent, hard work and unwavering determination of the Atlas Lionesses and their technical staff.
This qualification is in no way the result of chance, nor a simple stroke of luck, but rather a clear illustration of the results of the Royal strategy based on seriousness as a cardinal virtue and line of conduct to adopt to meet challenges.
It is the result of the in-depth work carried out in recent years at several levels by the various stakeholders in the national sporting field, particularly football, in accordance with the enlightened vision of HM King Mohammed VI for the promotion of national sport.
Indeed, Morocco organized the women’s football championship and almost all Moroccan clubs have women’s teams in all categories.
Morocco also has a Football Academy which aims to contribute to the identification and training of future high-level footballers, through the establishment of an educational system combining sport and studies.
Fruit of the royal will, the Mohammed VI Football Academy was built and equipped according to the standards in force in world-class European professional training centers, with the aim of listening to Moroccan youth and provide him with the appropriate conditions for the acquisition of academic sports training allowing him to evolve within the biggest football clubs in Morocco and Europe.
The success of the Moroccan women’s football selection crowned the exploits achieved by the national eleven during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, as well as the performances of the national teams in other categories and the Moroccan clubs involved in the continental championships. .
The Moroccan women’s selection, which qualified for the final stages of this World Cup as the first Arab selection to achieve such a feat, ranked second during the African Cup of Nations organized by Morocco in 2022.
By qualifying for the round of 16 of this World Cup, the Moroccan women’s selection confirms the level of excellence achieved by national football which continues to receive marks of admiration at the continental and international level.
