Morocco head coach Jorge Vilda says his side is fully aware of the responsibility that comes with playing in front of their home crowd as they prepare to face Ghana in Tuesday's Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) semi-final.

The Spanish coach, who won the FIFA Women's World Cup with Spain in 2023, spoke with calm authority ahead of the crucial tie in Rabat. "We know the magnitude of this moment.

Ghana are a very athletic and organised team," Vilda said. "They play with intensity, and we must be sharp and structured in all phases.

We've worked on our shape, our transitions, and our composure in the final third." Vilda underlined that Morocco's ambition goes beyond just reaching the final, pointing to a broader project of growth and development. "We're not playing just a semi-final.
