Africa Qualifiers for 2028 Olympics: Morocco Women's Team Drawn Against Congo
The draw for the African qualifiers for the women's football competition at the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, scheduled to take place from July 11 to 29, 2028, was conducted today, Wednesday.
The draw resulted in the Moroccan national team being pitted against their Congolese counterparts in the second round of the qualifiers, which will be held between October 5 and 13.
The "Atlas Lionesses" will enter the competition directly in this round, having received a bye from the first round due to their continental ranking. This provides the national squad with an advantage at the start of their qualification journey.
The draw for the third round will follow a pre-determined schedule, where winners from the second-round matches will face each other according to a specific order (for example, the winner of match 7/8 against the winner of match 9/10, and so on). This system will continue until the fifth round without any new draws.
Led by Spanish coach Jorge Vilda, the Moroccan women's national team aims for a strong start in these qualifiers to boost their chances of reaching the upcoming Olympic Games, especially given their improved performance on both the African and international stages in recent years.
