Morocco’s women’s futsal team will take on Spain at 1:30 p.m. Rabat time on Monday, Dec. 1, at the PhilSports Arena in Manila in a quarterfinal clash that marks the first appearance of the Atlas Lionesses at this stage of the FIFA Women’s Futsal World Cup.
Morocco secured a place in the last eight with a 1 to 0 victory over Poland, following an earlier 3 to 2 win against host nation the Philippines during the group stage. The results sealed qualification regardless of goal difference and confirmed the team’s progress in its first World Cup campaign.
The run reflects several years of preparation by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the technical staff led by coach Adil Sayeh, who has overseen the transition of the squad into international competition.
Spain enters the match as one of the strongest teams in the tournament, with established experience at elite level and a track record of consistency in women’s futsal. Morocco is expected to rely on compact defending and rapid transitions as it seeks to challenge a side known for structured play and depth.
The match will be broadcast in Morocco on Arryadia, with additional coverage via FIFA’s official digital platforms. The encounter offers Morocco an opportunity to advance to the semifinals and extend a breakthrough campaign that has already reshaped expectations around the women’s game in the country.
