The official FIFA website praised Morocco’s fans and coach in the World Cup currently being held in Qatar, after qualifying for the round of 16.

FIFA considered, in an article published on its official website, that the Moroccan fans, who were present in thousands in the stands of Qatari stadiums during the Atlas Lions matches, contributed to this great achievement, describing them as the number one player.

They later added, “The Moroccan public has never been silent during the 280 minutes in the group stage. Its roar was terrifying to the opponents and spread enthusiasm and spirit in the hearts of the Atlas Lions.”

And FIFA considered that Morocco Head Coach Walid Regragui deserved to be the hero of the wonderful story of Morocco in Qatar, not only because he created the appropriate method of playing and the required balance in the team’s performance, but the most important thing is to unite everyone, control the dressing room, and repair any crack that existed in it before his arrival.

The International Federation added: “The interesting thing is that the Moroccan coach succeeded in doing all this in a short period of time, after he agreed to take on the challenge by taking on the difficult task at the end of last August.” FIFA also described that anyone who follows the performance of the Moroccan national team will immediately realize the extent of the change in enthusiasm and fighting spirit before and after the arrival of the African Champions League champion with Wydad.

In addition to his success in creating a family and fraternal atmosphere among the players, Regragui was able to win the hearts and sympathy of Moroccans. This was evident through the manifestations of encouragement and support that Hakim Ziyech’s comrades received from all of the Moroccan people.
