Atlas Lionesses Eye Glory in Rabat Showdown Against Ghana: A Decisive WAFCON Semi-Final Clash
This Tuesday, July 22, 2025, Morocco will take on Ghana at the Rabat Olympic Stadium at 8:00 p.m. in a highly anticipated Women’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final. The match will be broadcast on Arryadia (TNT) and beIN Sports.
Riding a wave of impressive wins, the Atlas Lionesses continue their continental quest under the guidance of head coach Jorge Vilda. Their commanding 3-1 victory over Mali in the quarter-finals reinforced their status as serious title contenders. Forward Ibtissam Jraidi, named player of the match, has emerged as a key weapon in a Moroccan side praised for both its technical finesse and disciplined structure.
But standing in their way are Ghana’s Black Queens, who won their quarter-final against Algeria in a dramatic penalty shootout. Known for their experience, athleticism, and explosive pace, the Ghanaians pose a real threat to Morocco’s backline. However, the physical toll of their last match could be a factor heading into this clash.
The showdown promises to be a true test of maturity for Morocco, who are aiming for a third straight WAFCON final—and this time, they hope to lift the trophy in front of a jubilant home crowd. The energy from the fans at the Olympic Stadium could well be Morocco’s secret weapon against a Ghanaian side determined to derail their momentum.
The winner of this semi-final will go on to face either Nigeria or South Africa, who meet the same evening in Casablanca. More than just a match, this is a defining moment in the story of Moroccan women’s football.
