Rosella Ayane is a Moroccan international forward currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur Women in the English Women’s Premier League. Born in England to a Moroccan father and Scottish mother, she chose to represent Morocco internationally, bringing valuable top-level experience to the Atlas Lionesses.
Since making her international debut in 2021, Ayane has quickly become an important figure in the Moroccan squad. Known for her goal-scoring ability, she has netted crucial goals during qualifiers and the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where Morocco finished as runners-up. Her ability to create chances and offensive versatility make her an indispensable asset for the team.
Collectively, Rosella is a key pillar in coach Jorge Vilda’s system. Her on-field presence is vital to the team’s progress as they now aim to win the CAN 2025 hosted in Morocco. Her experience in the English league—known for its intensity and tactical demands—provides her with the skill and maturity that benefits her teammates.
With at least ten international goals, Rosella remains a player on whom much of Morocco’s hopes depend. At 29, she is in her athletic prime and is expected to continue making an impact in both African and global women’s football.
