The Mafia in Morocco was real. Such a bad advert for women's football on the continent. From strange Covid test results, dressing room issues, gender tests to unfair officiating. The Black Maidens have suffered.

Ghana U17 girls lose to Morocco 4-2 on penalties after a lot of skullduggery. Unfortunately, Morocco is the most powerful football nation in Africa now and any protest will go nowhere. CAF will not bat an eye, lift a finger or make a whimper. Well played team Ghana.
