Casablanca, August 18, 2026 — The Europe Today: Morocco’s women’s national football team is set to receive a financial boost of $1.56 million following its qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil, according to Moroccan media reports cited by Morocco World News.
The Atlas Lionesses secured their place in the global tournament after finishing fourth at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, hosted by Morocco. The qualification marks another significant achievement for the Moroccan women’s national team on the international stage.

The financial allocation is expected to increase as teams progress through the tournament.
