The participation of Moroccan women in international competitions still remains low despite the promotion of national institutions in the practice of sport. More often than not, sociocultural factors constitute the greatest impediment to the advancement of most Moroccan women’s career in sports. Among these is marriage, perhaps the most common of the social and cultural obstacles on Moroccan sports women's path to a fulfilling professional life. Another closely related limiting factor for women with high sporting expectations is motherhood.
