International career

[edit]

Being a Moroccan Spaniard, Atiq was eligible to represent either Morocco (where she was born) or Spain (where she was raised) under FIFA eligibility rules. However, she was never called up for Spain at any level. Nevertheless, she considers herself both Moroccan and Spanish.[15]

2023

[edit]

Atiq received her first call-up for Morocco by French manager Reynald Pedros for a two-match friendly series against Ireland on 11 and 14 November at Marbella Football Centre in Marbella, Spain.[16] She made her international début in the first match, which was held behind closed doors, coming on as a substitute in the second half.[17][18] In the second match, which Morocco lost 4–0, she made her first international start.[1][19]

Atiq was again called up for Morocco for a two-match friendly series against Slovakia on 17 February and Bosnia and Herzegovina on 21 February at the Emirhan Sports Complex in Antalya, Turkey.[20][21] Morocco defeated Slovakia 3–0 and Bosnia and Herzegovina 2–0, though she did not play in either match.[22][23]

Atiq was once again called up for a two-match friendly series against the Czech Republic (who they played on 6 April at the Letní Stadion in Chomutov, Czech Republic) and Romania (who they played on 11 April at the Arcul de Triumf Stadium in Bucharest, Romania).[24][25] She was substituted on in the first match, a 1–0 loss to the Czech Republic,[26] before starting in the second match, a 2–0 loss to Romania.[27]

Despite being called up for all of Morocco's matches in preparation for the tournament, Atiq was not part of the 28-player preliminary squad Pedros named ahead of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand,[28] thus determining that she had missed out on the final 26-player squad for the tournament.[29]

2024

[edit]

Atiq was called up by Spanish manager Jorge Vilda for Morocco's two-legged fourth round tie against Zambia, with the two legs held on 5 and 9 April. Morocco won the first leg 2–1 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola, Zambia,[30] before losing the second leg 2–0 after extra time at Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat, Morocco, with the 3–2 aggregate score causing Morocco to miss the 2024 Olympic Games in France.[31]

2025

[edit]

Atiq was called up for Morocco B by Spanish manager Miguel Ángel Sopuerta for a friendly match behind closed doors against Tunisia A on 8 April at Mohammed VI Football Academy in Salé, Morocco.[32][33] Morocco were defeated 4–2.[34]

2026

[edit]

Atiq was called up by Vilda for a two-match friendly series against Burkina Faso at Al Medina Stadium in Rabat on 27 February and 4 March. Morocco won the first match 5–0[35] before drawing the second match 1–1,[36] being named on the bench in the first game[37] and starting in the second game.[38]

As part of preparations for the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) on home soil, Atiq was called up by Vilda as part of a 31-player squad that played two a two-match friendly series against Benin on 5 June at Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat, and New Zealand on 9 June at the Nuevo Estadio El Maulí in Málaga, Spain.[39] Morocco defeated Benin 4–2[40] and drew 0–0 with New Zealand,[41] with her starting against the former[42] and being an unused substitute against the latter.[43]

Atiq was named by Vilda as part of the 26-player squad that Morocco sent to WAFCON.[44][45] As she was not selected for the 2023 World Cup or the 2024 WAFCON, this would be her first major international tournament. Ahead of the tournament, Morocco played a friendly match against Cape Verde at Père Jégo Stadium in Casablanca, Morocco on 21 July, in which she was named on the bench.[46] Morocco won the match 5–0.[47][48]

For the group stage, Morocco were drawn into Group A, facing Kenya, Algeria and Senegal on 26 and 30 July and 3 August, respectively, all of whom they will face at Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat. She played the entirety of all three group stage matches, a 4–0 win over Kenya (in which she scored her first international goal),[49][50] a 1–0 win over rivals Algeria[51][52] and a 0–0 draw with Senegal.[53][54]

In the quarter-finals, Atiq played the entirety of a 2–1 win over South Africa at Moulay El Hassan Stadium, which secured Morocco a place at the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.[55][56] In the semi-finals, she played the entirety of the match against Cameroon at the same stadium, with the match ending in a 0–0 draw after extra time and resulting in a penalty shootout, in which she missed a penalty, that delivered upset 3–1 victory for eventual champions Cameroon, eliminating Morocco from the tournament.[57][58] She then played the entirety of the third place match against rivals and earlier group stage opponents Algeria at Rabat Olympic Stadium, which ended in a 1–1 draw, with the subsequent penalty shootout resulting in a 3–2 defeat for Morocco, leading them to finish in fourth place.[59][60]
