The All Africa Challenge Trophy: An exceptional competition

The team and individual competition format makes it possible to highlight both collective performances and individual talents.

Morocco, land of golf

The organization of the AACT in Morocco is a real consecration for national golf. Under the leadership of the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation, chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Moulay Rachid, Morocco has established itself as an essential golf destination. The country has high-level infrastructure, such as the Tazegzout golf course, a championship course designed by Kyle Philips.

A springboard for women’s golf

Beyond competition, the AACT is also a formidable vector of development for women’s golf in Africa. By organizing this event, Morocco reaffirms its commitment to the promotion and development of this sport. Many Moroccan players have already shone on the international scene, like Ines Laklalech, the first Moroccan to win a Ladies European Tour tournament.

Participation

Twenty African nations are represented at this 16th edition of the AACT. The Moroccan team, made up of Sofia Cherif Essakali, Rim Imni, Nadia Sanz Ouezzani and Raja Hasnaoui, is determined to shine on home soil.

The hosting of the All Africa Challenge Trophy in Morocco is excellent news for African women’s golf. This event highlights the talent of the continent’s players and helps promote Morocco as a leading golf destination.
