Upon their arrival on Thursday, a delegation from Morocco’s Football Federation (FRMF), including chairman Fouzi Lekjaa gave a warm welcome to the Atlas Lionesses.
Crowds of fans also lined up outside the airport to welcome the team back.
Lekjaa also delivered an address at the welcoming reception, during which he promised to elevate and develop women’s football to unprecedented heights.
“Following a few days of rest, we will work on programs to continue the advancement of women’s football,” he pledged. “This will involve a comprehensive transformation in the training of younger age groups, specifically those under the age of 15, 16, and 17.”
