A new coach has been appointed for the women's national team.

French coach Eric Blahic has begun his role as the head coach of the Moroccan women's national football team, succeeding Spanish coach Jorge Vilda. He is currently leading a training camp at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in preparation for upcoming competitions.

The Royal Moroccan Football Federation announced that this camp will include two friendly matches against Uzbekistan, with the first match scheduled for Friday, October 9, at 8:00 PM at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat, while the second match will take place on Monday, October 12, at 6:00 PM at the city stadium.

Blahic, 61, has extensive experience in various coaching staff roles at several French clubs, including Guingamp and Bordeaux. His most recent position was as an assistant to Moroccan coach Ahmed Kantari at FC Nantes.
