\nKhadija Er-Rmichi has spoken to FIFA
\nShe discusses Morocco\u2019s recent success and the importance of Olympic qualification
\nKeeper highlights Reynald Pedros\u2019 and Jorge Vilda\u2019s impact on Moroccan football
\nThe development of the football scene in Morocco over the past five years has been seismic, with the women\u2019s game proving no exception.<\/p>\n
The Atlas Lionesses reached the final of the 2022 Women\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations and qualified for a maiden FIFA Women\u2019s World Cup\u2122 when they travelled to Australia & New Zealand 2023, turning heads as they won two of their group-stage games to reach the Round of 16.<\/p>\n
Now, they are aiming to qualify for this year\u2019s Women\u2019s Olympic Football Tournament in Paris, having beaten Tunisia to reach the final round of CAF qualifying.<\/p>\n
Their goalkeeper, Khadija Er-Rmichi, spoke to FIFA about the reasons for Morocco\u2019s recent successes, what they hope to achieve next and the qualities of former coach Reynald Pedros and his successor Jorge Vilda.<\/p>\n
When you first started playing, did you think you could achieve as much success as you have?
\nWhen I was young, my dream was to go as far as possible in football, because I absolutely love the sport. I trained a lot to become the best player I could. Women\u2019s football wasn\u2019t very popular when I was a child, so it was hard for me when I was starting out, but I clung on to my dream, worked hard and stayed patient until I achieved what I wanted, thank God! Qualifying for the World Cup was the best moment I\u2019ve ever had on the pitch. I can’t even describe how that felt.<\/p>\n
You played a big role in Morocco\u2019s qualification for the Round of 16 at the Women’s World Cup. What did you personally gain from that experience?
\nI gained a lot from my experience at the World Cup. I thank God for giving me that opportunity to learn more about different styles of football around the world because it really enhanced the way I think about the game. Although we\u2019d hoped to go further than the Round of 16, we were satisfied with what we achieved, and I think we demonstrated how good Moroccan football is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
