Early Goal Secures Victorious Start for Morocco in Women's AFCON
On July 27, 2026, Spanish coach Jorge Vilda expressed his immense satisfaction with the performance of the Moroccan women's national team, known as the "Atlas Lionesses," following their commanding 4-0 victory over Kenya in their opening match at the Africa Women’s Cup of Nations. In a press conference held after the match, Vilda attributed this strong start to the thorough preparations the team had undertaken leading up to the tournament. He emphasized that the early goal significantly boosted the players' confidence and allowed them to dominate the match from the very beginning.
Coach Vilda also praised the large crowd that attended the game, saying, "The support from the fans was fantastic and motivated us to achieve a successful start." He noted that the team delivered an outstanding first half, although the pace naturally slowed down after securing a decisive lead. Regarding the Kenyan team, Vilda acknowledged their development in recent years but asserted that they did not pose any real threat to his squad.
