Ghana Coach Anticipates Tough WAFCON Semi-Final Against Morocco
Morocco secured a win in the semifinals last Friday after a 3-1 win against Mali, while Ghana defeated Algeria on penalties on Saturday to clinch a ticket for the semi-finals.
He said the players 'need physical and mental recovery,' noting that his play has only a few days for recovery before the game against Morocco.
'I wish we had one or two more days, but this is football. We need mental recovery, and as for the players, they may need even more physical recovery,' he said.
This indicator could be an opportunity for the Atlas Lionesses, who finished their game on Friday and enjoyed a couple of days of rest and training after their win against Mali.
Morocco will play its match against Ghana at Rabat's Olympic Stadium on Tuesday at 8 p.m. Moroccan time.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) described the game between Ghana and Morocco as a high-stakes semifinal.
'Three years ago, Morocco reached the final on home soil, reigniting national pride in women's football,' CAF said.
The confederation emphasized that now, in 2026, the Atlas Lionesses have matured and are stronger and more composed.
'With a packed Olympic Stadium behind them, Jorge Vilda's side has shown newfound maturity,' CAF wrote. Tags: Algeria WAFCONmorocco wafcon

Morocco U20 Coach: ‘We're Ready for Anyone'
Morocco's under-20 national team coach, Mohamed Ouahbi, says his side are dreaming big ahead of the FIFA U20 World Cup in Chile, despite being drawn into a daunting group alongside Brazil, Mexico, and Spain. In an interview with Ouahbi was optimistic: 'We have a clear playing identity, tactical discipline, and technical quality,' he said. 'The boys showed real promise in the Africa Cup of Nations, even if the final loss to South Africa was painful.' That defeat, he insists, has forged a mentally tougher team. 'It hurt, but it made us stronger,' he added. Ouahbi praised the growth of several players, notably Chamseddine Talbi and Adam Aznou, who are now training with the senior national team. But he was quick to temper expectations. 'We mustn't put pressure on them. Let them grow at their own pace.' Preparation for the tournament has been meticulous. The squad is currently holding training camps in Morocco for home-based Botola players, before heading to Spain and Argentina for a series of friendlies. 'It's all about getting the group ready for the challenge in Chile,' said Ouahbi. He ended with a call to Moroccan supporters: 'Playing in a World Cup is an honour. It's a chance to raise the national flag high and show what the future of Moroccan football looks like.' The FIFA U20 World Cup, to be held in Chile this year, brings together the world's top youth sides. Morocco will be making only their third appearance, having last qualified in 2005. The tournament, seen as a football fest for emerging talent, has previously launched the careers of global stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Vinicius Jr, and Paul Pogba.

The Hakimi Play: France's Theatre of Justice
Achraf Hakimi: By any footballing measure, Achraf Hakimi has just had the season of his life. Four trophies with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) – including the club's first UEFA Champions League – 27 goal involvements from right-back, and a tactical mutation under Luis Enrique that saw him playing more winger than a right-back. The Atlas Lion is now hurtling, eyes fixed on football's most gilded prey — the Ballon d'Or. Until, of course, the French justice system decided to butt in. Last Friday, French prosecutors gave the kiss of life to a two-and-a-half-year-old rape case. The timing is suspicious. One could argue it reeks of sabotage to the benefit of none other than Hakimi's PSG teammate – and French international – Ousmane Dembélé. So, let's unpack this murky farce. The Case That Refused to Die On February 27, 2023, the Nanterre prosecutor opened a preliminary investigation into Hakimi. Oddly, no official complaint had been filed. No medical certificate. No physical evidence. Nothing that typically kickstarts such a serious accusation. Yet the judicial gears turned. And just as the Ballon d'Or jury was set to consider its shortlist of nominees, France wants to send the Moroccan star to the criminal court. A Shaky Accusation The case itself is riddled with inconsistencies. Leaked messages between the accuser – dubbed 'Amélie' – and her friend Nadia paint a picture more of premeditated manipulation and financial blackmail than victimhood. Hours before visiting Hakimi's home, Amélie texted 'J'ai le démon mdrr,' while Nadia urged her to go 'mode femme fatale' and 'dépouiller' the player – street slang for robbing someone blind. They even exchanged lyrics from a French rap song about taking risks for financial gain. At 1:15 am, Amélie reportedly texted that she was keen on a sexual encounter. Yet post-incident, she refused to share the full exchange with the police. It was only after detectives grilled her friend that these incriminating messages surfaced, which the accuser had deleted. Hakimi, for his part, has flatly denied any wrongdoing. His lawyer has decried the prosecution's demand for trial as 'insane.' Kylian Mbappé, the most valuable French footballer on Earth, backed his former teammate, stating Hakimi is 'respectful with women' and never exhibited any inappropriate behaviour. The Club des Avocats au Maroc has now stepped in, forming an independent commission to scrutinise the legal circus. Their concerns are about whether French justice is playing fair. So Why Now? Because it's all so perfectly orchestrated. Hakimi's bid for the Ballon d'Or is backed by substance: stats, trophies, records, performances. But France wouldn't dare let a Moroccan lay his hands on the Ballon d'Or in lieu of their golden boy. Hakimi is now cloaked in controversy. Not from new evidence. Not from trial proceedings. But from media noise, carefully timed to stain his image ahead of the Ballon d'Or voting. Hakimi may be facing the match of his life, not on the pitch but in the court of public opinion. In the end, history may judge Hakimi not by the awards he didn't win, but by the smear campaign he survived. And if France thinks it can quietly hand the Ballon d'Or to Dembélé through judicial puppeteering, it may well find the world is watching – and not buying a single word.
