Morocco Women Dominate Kenya Women 4-0 to Open WAFCON Campaign in Style

Morocco Women began their CAF Women's African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) journey with a commanding 4-0 victory over Kenya Women on July 27, 2026. Playing at a neutral venue in front of a passionate crowd, the Atlas Lionesses showcased their class and depth, reaffirming their status as one of the tournament favorites.

The match was one-sided from the opening whistle. Morocco's high press and quick passing overwhelmed Kenya, who struggled to maintain possession. The first goal arrived in the 14th minute when a corner was met with a powerful header. The second came before half-time, a composed finish after a brilliant through ball split the Kenyan defense. The Moroccan midfield controlled the tempo, with their creative playmaker dictating play.

In the second half, Morocco continued to push forward. They added a third goal from the penalty spot after a handball, and a fourth in stoppage time, a sweeping counter-attack that ended with a clinical strike into the bottom corner. Kenya had a few chances but failed to test the Moroccan goalkeeper seriously. The clean sheet was a testament to Morocco's organized defensive structure.

This victory puts Morocco top of their group and sends a warning to other contenders. For Kenya, it is a tough start, but they will look to bounce back in their next fixture. The WAFCON tournament continues to grow in stature, and performances like this from Morocco highlight the rising standard of women's football in Africa.
