Morocco FA honours Atlas Lioness captain Ghizlane Chebbak after historic 100th appearance

Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) President Fouzi Lekjaa has celebrated Atlas Lioness captain Ghizlane Chebbak after reaching a historic 100 game milestone.

Lekjaa presented the veteran midfielder with a commemorative jersey on Tuesday in recognition of her remarkable contribution to Moroccan women’s football and her outstanding service to the national team over the years.

The special tribute from the federation highlights the importance of Chebbak’s achievements and her role as one of the leading figures in the growth and development of women’s football in Morocco.

Chebbak made history by becoming the first player to surpass the 100-cap mark for the Atlas Lionesses, cementing her place among the country’s greatest female footballers.

The 35-year-old has enjoyed a distinguished international career, serving as a leader on and off the pitch while helping Morocco establish itself as one of the strongest women’s football nations on the African continent.

The daughter of former Moroccan international Larbi Chebbak, Ghizlane has continued her family’s football legacy through years of dedication, consistency and excellence at both club and international level.

Her career has been decorated with success, including numerous achievements with Moroccan giants FAR Rabat, where she played a key role in domestic and continental competitions. She has also gained valuable experience from professional spells in Spain, further enhancing her quality and leadership abilities.

As Morocco continues its pursuit of major honours, Chebbak remains focused on guiding the Atlas Lionesses to their first major continental triumph. With her experience, winning mentality and deep understanding of the game, she is expected to play a crucial role in the team’s ambitions on the African stage.

The recognition from Lekjaa and the Morocco FA serves as a testament to Chebbak’s influence and her status as a symbol of Moroccan women’s football.
