Morocco triumphs at All Africa Women's Golf Challenge

A beautiful victory for the national women's golf team at the 16th edition of the All Africa Challenge Trophy (AACT). This event, organized for the first time in Morocco from November 28 to 30 at the Tazegzout Golf in Agadir, marked a turning point for Moroccan women's golf.

Facing 20 nations, including South Africa, which had won 14 of the previous 15 editions, the Moroccan golfers shone. Composed of Sofia Cherif Essakali, Rim Imni, and Nadia Sanz Ouezzani, and led by their captain Raja Hasnaoui, the national team won with an exceptional score of -7, surpassing South Africa by two strokes (-5). Kenya completed the podium with a score of +7.

The individual performance of Sofia Cherif Essakali, only 15 years old, was decisive. With a personal score of -12, she dominated the competition and clinched the individual title, thus becoming the second Moroccan in history to win this distinction. Already an Arab champion, Sofia confirms her status as a future star of African and world golf.

This triumph reflects the ambitious strategy of the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (FRMG), led by Prince Moulay Rachid, which focuses on structured programs to develop young talents. The federation also salutes the sportsmanship of the participating nations and thanks its partners, including the R&A and the AACT Association, for their support in developing women's golf in Africa.
