A outstanding issue is in the WAFU B Qualifying were Ampem Darkoa lodged a successful appeal when the final against Edo Queens went direct to a penalty shootout after a 2-2 draw in regulation time.

Reports from France and Morocco appear to suggest Eric Blahic is set to take the reigns from Jorge Vilda.

Blahic was France WNT assistant coach on two separate occasions firstly he joined Corinne Diacre’s staff in January 2020 as her number two assistant.

However he stepped down in the summer of 2021 after a breakdown in relations, later citing Diacre’s desire for excessive control and a reprimand over private player conversations.

He rejoined the FFF/France women’s setup briefly under Hervé Renard (2023-2024).

He last worked as assistant coach at FC Nantes (December 2025 to July 2026) alongside Ahmed Kantari and Vahid Halilhodžić.

It is reported from the beginning of the Morocco Women’s National Team camp that Vilda was absent from the start of the preparation for the Women’s Olympic Qualifying that was due against Congo. However that tie appears to be in severe jeopardy as colleagues note that this game has been removed from the Fifa match list.
