The players of the Moroccan soccer team were “welcomed as heroes” on their return to the Kingdom after their “unprecedented achievement” at the World Cup in Qatar, says the Panamanian daily “La Estrella de Panama”.

“Thousands of fans gathered along the avenues and main squares of the Moroccan capital, wearing the national colors, to greet their team as if they had won the World Cup,” writes the newspaper of the Caribbean country.

Along a route of nearly 12 km, the avenues and squares were invested by fans who came to greet their team that has achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in the history of Africa and Arab countries and “signed a magnificent performance at the World Cup,” adds the publication.

The Moroccan national team has sent a message of hope during the last World Cup that success is possible when serious work, patriotic spirit and great fighting spirit are present, the daily says.

The Moroccan supporters and all fans of football will remember forever the “genius of Walid Regragui and the talent and fighting spirit of the players”, according to the Panamanian newspaper.
