| Morocco’s head coach Jorge Vilda |
Morocco’s head coach Jorge Vilda stood by his team’s sterling performance at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), insisting that the Atlas Lionesses deserved to lift the trophy after a hard-fought final against Nigeria.
Speaking after the tournament, Vilda expressed his conviction that Morocco’s players showed exceptional quality throughout the competition. “I don’t think Morocco delivered a poorer performance than Nigeria, and we weren’t weaker than the other opponents we faced,” he said.
The coach, who guided Morocco to their first-ever WAFCON final, highlighted how the team’s display remained strong even in the high-pressure climax.
“Our performance was exceptional, even during the final. Apart from a few minutes and some refereeing decisions, we were better than Nigeria,” Vilda asserted.
Despite the heartbreak of missing out on the title, Vilda’s pride in his squad shone through. “It’s sad, it’s hard, it’s painful, but the performance overall has made us proud,” he added.
Is Vilda’s assertions in anyway right? Well, the cup is already in Nigeria through the hard-work, dedication and determination of the Super Falcons.
Nonetheless, Morocco’s deep run in the tournament and Vilda’s unwavering praise hint at a bright future for the Atlas Lionesses on the continental stage.
