Morocco’s all women American football team plays at Green Bay Packers facility in U.S.

Members of the all-women We Can Morocco American football team took on the Green Bay East Red Devils this week at Titletown, expanding the reach of American football and building relationships with foreign countries through a friendly game of flag football. Eight players were able to travel as part of the We Can Morocco team that took on the Green Bay East Red Devils, as players from Morocco needed to fund their trip and apply for visas, many couldn’t make it. “We did our best to make a representation here,” Fouzia Madhouni, founder of We Can Morocco told the local Green Bay Press Gazette. In 2022 the Packers first met the We Can Morocco founder, Madhouni, in Wisconsin though the global sports mentoring program with the U.S. Department of State and ESPN-W, helping grow the reach of American football abroad. Madhouni has since embarked on ways to help empower women leadership courses and American football sessions hoping to someday bring members of her team to experience Green Bay firsthand. Her comments after the game were extremely poignant: “Making an impact is like a train. you make people get in with you. So, it’s just like you have an army with you that’s spreading that awareness. So, it’s not only you making an impact, impact people to impact people, because some people impacted my life that’s why I’m here today and I’m trying to return the favor,” said Madhouni.
