Morocco, African Women’s Futsal Champion: The Kingdom Dominates the Continent’s Football Scene

Morocco continues to make history in African football. With a resounding victory at the 2025 Women’s Africa Futsal Cup, the national women’s team has reaffirmed the Kingdom’s central role in the continental football landscape. This achievement is part of a broader momentum driven by an ambitious and well-structured Royal vision.

This success is the result of years of dedicated effort, initiated under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him. Thanks to a clear and forward-looking vision, Morocco has placed sports—especially football—at the heart of its public policies. The launch of the Mohammed VI Football Academy, the modernization of infrastructure (synthetic pitches, training centers, FIFA-standard stadiums), and continuous support for the training of coaches and technical staff are clear examples.

This strategy is bearing fruit across the board: both men’s and women’s national teams are shining on the continental and international stages, illustrating the real rise of Moroccan football.

Beyond sporting achievements, Morocco has established itself as a cornerstone of African football organization. In recent years, the Kingdom has hosted several major competitions and has become a preferred preparation ground for numerous African national teams.

Long overshadowed by eleven-a-side football, futsal is experiencing remarkable growth in Morocco. Already two-time African champions in the men’s category (2020, 2024), the Kingdom has now claimed the title in the women’s game. The Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) has implemented a dedicated plan to promote futsal, including the creation of a national women’s league, regional scouting camps, and international technical partnerships.

Morocco’s women’s futsal triumph sends a strong message across the continent: African women’s football is entering a new era. Morocco is positioning itself as the driving force of this movement by investing in training, coaching, and the professionalization of female players. This success is expected to inspire similar initiatives across Africa, paving the way for a new generation of talented African footballers.

The victory of the Futsal Lionesses is no coincidence. It reflects a coherent and strategic sports development policy under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. By winning the 2025 Women’s Africa Futsal Cup, the Kingdom further solidifies its position as a leader in African football—across all formats. More than just a title, it is a triumph for the vision, strategy, and passion of a nation striving for excellence.
