Women’s Futsal World Cup: Morocco plays for survival against Spain
The African champions have written a page of history by getting out of the group stage, but the hardest part is yet to come. The Moroccan women’s national futsal team continues its preparation in Manila with a huge goal: to beat Spain on Monday to secure a place in the semifinals of the first World Cup in the discipline.
The match, scheduled for 1:30 pm (Moroccan time), is a major challenge for coach Adil Sayeh’s team. The group continues its training in the Philippine capital, galvanized by its recent decisive victory against Poland (1-0). The Moroccan coach paid a strong tribute to his players after this success, saying that words were not enough to describe the efforts made. He recalled that measuring up to an experienced European nation like Poland was not an easy task, a difficulty that only professionals in the field can truly gauge.
"They have worked a lot, been patient and suffered"
For Adil Sayeh, this qualification is the reward for a group that has "worked a lot, been patient and suffered". He dedicated this historic performance to King Mohammed VI and thanked the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa. The coach specified that the latter had guaranteed all the necessary conditions to allow the national team to compete with the great world teams in this competition.
