How Morocco Became Africa’s Football Giant

Morocco's remarkable football journey is a true testament to resilience and determination. From a lowly 95th in the FIFA World Rankings and failing World Cup qualifications in 2010 and 2014, their rise has been nothing short of spectacular. Fast forward to 2023, Morocco proudly holds the 11th spot in the FIFA World Rankings. However, their crowning achievement came in 2022, when they made history at the World Cup by reaching the Semi Finals, a first for any African or Arab nation. Join me as we dive into Morocco's incredible rise, from adversity to triumph, and how they etched their name in football history. 🇲🇦

Morocco was never bad at football but the national team has passed from bad era because of bad management but there were always great talents in all Morocco periods .

Bono was born in Canada but moved back to morocco as a 2 year old, and he was a student in the royal academy as well and started his professional career with WAC in the moroccan league. Also Lekja is a Perfect example of the right man in the right place, it's amazing what can happen when you give the responsibility to a competent individual. Also in 2018 morocco was definitely robbed, outplayed both portugal and Spain but the most difficult opponent it faced was VAR

VAR was awful that tournament. Robbed us big time. Portugal´s goal shouldn´t have stood, as Pepe viciously jumped our striker in the corner. Pique should´ve also had a red card, and Spain´s 2nd goal shouldn´t have stood. We dominated Spain and Portugal, and played fairly well against Iran where a draw was probably the most fair result

[@tofoo72]

When I first became a football fan a month before the World Cup, I saw who was playing for Morocco and was immediately like, "Those people doubting Morocco are about to see something they would never have expected," and it was true. Morocco pulled through against some of the footballing giants.

Bono born in Canada and then he come with his parents back to Morocco and joined Wydad Casablanca academy then he moved to Europe to Atletico Madrid so he formed in Morocco.

[@the180degreerule3]

I will never forget what Walid said when he took the role of managing Morocco, he said he is in pain because while it's easy for any coach from anywhere in the world to coach in Africa, it is not the case for African coaches to coach worldwide even tho Africa has great coaches to offer...he also said that he wishes if he could change that. and he led the selection that far in the world cup and I was so happy for him.

[@lucacasagrande2456]

Surely Nigeria is a powerhouse forward, but they have to invest some money to grow up talents also for the back of the pitch. But I'm sure you will find them and some day you will be seen as one of the favorites for the wc

Morocco hasnt been this good at sport? 1986 mexico world cup morocco finished top of the group above england and portugal only loosing to runners up west germany, jn france 1998 they only lost to brazil and exited group stage, russia 2018, go watch, every decision went against them. They have always had talent but underachieved.

[@zaidbenriane767]

​@@Nabhutono, it has a big impact because every generation of Morocco national team wanted to pass that 1986 achievement

[@154Extra]

In 1998, Morocco tied with Norway 2-2, Morocco scored an own goal in last minute of the. Then they loss to Brazil, Morocco got 3 or 2 red cards, and the last game against Scotland, 3-0 Morocco, but at the same time when Norway and Brazil played, at the last minutes of the game, Brazil led by 1-0. But then both then, both teams knew that Morocco was ready for round-of-16, so Norway scored a penalty, and an easy goal from Norway. And that’s why it was rigged.

[@tayebghorfi1230]

For sure, but in Morocco, it will go faster, thats because we have a natural talent in football, something like brasilans. Fighting sports also, juste like brasilians. It's genetic. Look at Saudi arabia or China, they spent waay more than that, biut results aren't that good ;)

If you go to spain and portugal one would see what has the Moroccans left in these lands as cultural heritage of monuments buildings and sciences that these countries portugal/spain enjoy having and to show their tourists flocking their countries. Monuments standing for centuries reflecting 800 years of moorish existence in Iberia. Morocco having the upper hand in football vs spain and portugal reflects also the powerful heritage had left in those two countries. Big up for the world cup 2030 taking place in the culturally rich countries Morocco/spain/portugal.

This Video Is Completely Right And Factual Morocco Did Alot Of History As A Moroccan I Liked This Video Alot. We also beat Brazil in a 2-1 Win which is completely unbelievable. and Morocco was never bad but it was a long bad era for them because all managers were horrible to players and didnt have the fit of management which was upsetting. now our manager is Amazing and im suspecting that morocco with this management will be one of the next best teams in the upcoming generations. Also how Morocco beat the record of being the first african national team to reach the Semi-Final Of the World Cup With this news Morocco Will be dominate in the upcoming World cups which will be insane for a good era to rise and become better then their bad era in the future!

[@parmentier7457]

I think the Moroccan team is so successful because more than half of the Moroccan players were born in Europe and played for European football clubs from their youth. No offence, but Moroccan-Dutch players in the Netherlands are known as very good players but very difficult to guide them. Many Moroccan-Dutch people leave Dutch clubs due to disagreements or arguments with the trainer.

From this moment on african teams will not be undervalued. This is the fastest growing football-continent, with 10 teams or more that are able to play in the wc, and many more talents are going to grow there.
