President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) thanked, this Wednesday, the Moroccan national team for its success in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

“Morocco’s success is not by chance. Everyone should learn from the Moroccan experience and be inspired by it,” said South African Patrice Motsepe, during a press conference.

“I will never accept that an African nation cannot compete at the highest world level,” he said.

“Morocco has opened the door for us and made us proud. I am convinced that at the next World Cup in 2026, an African nation will go further,” he noted.

The CAF president added that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar is “an excellent World Cup and the best ever.”

“Qatar has made us all proud. I met the emir and the father emir and I witnessed the pride of the national culture,” he said.
