The successes of Moroccan football are the result of a long-term strategy driven by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, emphasizes the Spanish newspaper El País.
Commenting on the feat of the Atlas Lions’ Cubs, winners of the U20 World Cup in Chile, the Spanish daily highlights the fundamental role of the Mohammed VI Football Academy, which has contributed to the rise of national football across all categories.
El País reviews the exceptional journey of Mohamed Ouahbi’s team during the Chilean tournament, noting that the national squad eliminated major football nations such as Brazil, Spain, France, and Argentina on its way to clinching the world title.
The victory of the Atlas Lions’ Cubs confirms Morocco’s place among the elite of international football and serves as a reminder that the achievements in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 Paris Olympic Games were not a matter of chance, but the result of a structured and sustainable project, the daily adds.
El País further notes that Morocco, whose football is on the rise, is among the favorites for the 2030 World Cup, which it will co-host with Spain and Portugal.
