Morocco, a Hub of Sporting Excellence, to Host the 2027 Arab Women’s Football Cup
Morocco continues to strengthen its status as a major sports hub in Africa and the Arab world. On Thursday in Riyadh, the Executive Council of the Arab Football Union (UAFA) officially designated the Kingdom as host of the 2027 Arab Women’s Football Cup, scheduled for September of that year.
This decision crowns Morocco’s ongoing efforts, under the guidance of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to promote sports, and in particular women’s football. It follows the country’s recent award to host the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, positioning Morocco as a key player in advancing women’s football on the international stage.
The selection underscores the confidence Arab sporting bodies place in Morocco’s expertise in organizing major events. With modern infrastructure, world-class stadiums, and proven experience in hosting large-scale competitions, the Kingdom is preparing to deliver a tournament that meets the ambitions and expectations of Arab women’s football.
Beyond the sporting spectacle, hosting both the 2026 Women’s AFCON and the 2027 Arab Cup sends a strong message in support of the empowerment of Arab and African women through sport. It also reflects Morocco’s commitment to modernizing and elevating women’s football while fostering stronger connections between African and Arab nations.
By establishing itself as the venue for these prestigious tournaments, Morocco confirms its role as a driving force in shaping a future where sport, inclusion, and excellence go hand in hand.
