Morocco finished top of Group A at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) after playing out a goalless draw with Senegal at the Moulay El Hassan Stadium on Monday evening.
The Atlas Lionesses entered their final group match already assured of a quarter-final place following victories over Kenya and Algeria. The point against Senegal lifted Jorge Vilda’s team to seven points and confirmed first place in the section.
Neither side managed to break the deadlock in Rabat, ending Morocco’s run of scoring in every match at the tournament. However, the hosts maintained their perfect defensive record and completed the opening round without conceding a goal.
Morocco opened their campaign with a commanding 4-0 victory over Kenya before Sanaa Mssoudy scored an 84th-minute winner in a 1-0 success against Algeria. The Atlas Lionesses therefore finished the group stage with five goals scored and three clean sheets.
Senegal needed a victory to strengthen their chances of progressing but were unable to find the goal required. The Lionesses of Teranga finished third with four points after losing to Algeria, beating Kenya and drawing with Morocco.
