The Moroccan women’s national team has perfectly launched its 2026 Africa Cup of Nations campaign by decisively defeating Kenya (4-0) this Sunday, during the first day of Group A. In front of their home crowd, the Atlas Lionesses showcased their superiority to secure their first three points in the competition.
The Moroccans quickly took control of the match with a convincing offensive performance, gradually widening the gap as the minutes passed. Solid defensively and effective in both boxes, they achieved a clear victory that sends a strong message right from the start.
In the other match of Group A, Algeria triumphed over Senegal (2-0). With a better goal difference (+4 compared to +2), the Atlas Lionesses occupy the top spot in the standings ahead of the Algerians, while Senegal and Kenya sit at the bottom without a single point.
This success provides Morocco with an ideal start in this women’s AFCON 2026 and places Jorge Vilda’s players in a strong position ahead of their second outing. The Lionesses will now aim to confirm this excellent beginning to maintain their lead in Group A and move closer to qualification for the quarter-finals.
