After a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Zambia, Morocco’s women’s national team is gearing up for a critical showdown in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. The Atlas Lionesses will return to the pitch on Wednesday, July 9, where they’ll take on the Democratic Republic of Congo at Rabat’s Olympic Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 8 p.m.
Under the leadership of head coach Jorge Vilda, the Moroccan squad approaches this match with a clear objective: to secure a crucial victory that could pave their way to the quarterfinals. Their opponents, DR Congo, come into the game nursing the wounds of a heavy 4-0 loss to Senegal, which leaves Morocco in a favorable position. Led by team captain Ghizlane Chebbak, the Atlas Lionesses are determined to deliver a solid and convincing performance that reflects their growing ambitions in the tournament.
In a fiercely competitive Group A, every point is precious, and the outcome of each match could prove decisive. A win for Morocco would significantly strengthen their chances of advancing to the next round and would allow them to approach their final group-stage match against Senegal with much greater confidence and less pressure.
Fans hoping to follow the action live can tune in at 8 p.m. on Arryadia (TNT) as well as international broadcasters including beIN Sports, CANAL+, New World TV, SuperSport, and Azam Media. Earlier in the day, at 5 p.m., Zambia will face off against Senegal—a match that could also play a key role in determining the final standings of this tightly contested group.
