In an article published on its website, FIFA celebrated the journey of the Moroccan national team, which left the World Cup with honor after a defeat in the semi-final against France on December 14, 2022.
The article is illustrated with an image symbolizing the great sportsmanship of French star Kylian Mbappé with the two Moroccan stars, Achraf Hakimi and Sofiane Boufal, in the locker room corridor after the match, which ended with a victory for the Blues (2-0).
The retrospective is also enhanced with video clips and photos immortalizing the atmosphere of madness in the stands and the moments of joy inside the stadiums which hosted the national team’s matches.
“Croatia, Belgium, Canada, Spain, Portugal… All will have given up, even foundered, against the Atlas Lions thirsty for glory and history at Qatar 2022”, writes FIFA, looking back on the semi-final “epic” for Walid Regragui’s men against the French selection.
“The Moroccans had nothing to be ashamed of for their performance, far from it,” we add.
“Thank you. A huge thank you to Morocco for this fabulous and historic journey. You made an entire continent vibrate… and the whole world!”, underlines the article, which republished the FIFA Tweet bidding farewell to the Lions of the Atlas.
