Morocco set for WWC debut in another landmark FMTNews FMTSports
Morocco women’s football captain Ghizlane Chebbak said the success of the men’s squad in Qatar has inspired her team.
It has not gone unnoticed in a country mad about football and still buzzing from what their men did at the Qatar World Cup in December. Morocco’s women enjoyed a surprise run to the final of last year’s Africa Cup of Nations, which they hosted, before losing 2-1 to South Africa in front of over 50,000 spectators in Rabat.
“The girls are motivated and want to learn how to play football” after seeing the success of the men’s and women’s national teams, coach Mohamed Jidi told AFP. They are one of the lowest-ranked teams in Australia and New Zealand, and it would be a surprise if they get out of the group, but captain Ghizlane Chebbak knows the men have raised expectations.
“The federation invested in women’s football. Since then, mentalities have changed and the interest and evolution are palpable,” Khadija Illa, president of the Moroccan women’s league, told AFP.
