The World Cup journey of the Lionesses of the Atlas in futsal came to an end in the quarterfinals. Facing Spain in the World Cup held in the Philippines, the Moroccan team struggled to compete against a strong and heavily favored Spanish side. The hierarchy was respected, and Morocco, dominated throughout the match, fell 6-1 to a team that imposed its rhythm from start to finish.
Despite the scoreline, the Moroccan players have had a remarkable run. Under the guidance of Adil Sayeh, they secured their place in the quarterfinals by finishing second in Group A, with six points earned through two significant victories against the Philippines (3-2) and Poland (1-0). This encouraging performance reflects the steady progress of Moroccan women’s futsal on the international stage.
Spain will now continue its quest for the semifinals, where it will face the winner of the match between Brazil and Japan. In the other semifinal matchup, Argentina, victorious over Colombia (4-1), will take on the winner of the match between Portugal and Italy.
