Morocco’s name was also less flashy than Senegal’s or Cameroon’s, and recently it was also overtaken by Egypt, which caught the eye because of Mohamed Salah, even though he failed to qualify for the World Cup.

Nevertheless, it is undeniable that Morocco have names that can attract attention as they play in the top European leagues such as Achraf Hakimi, Hakim Ziyech or Youssef En Nesyri.

During this period, Morocco was able to qualify for the World Cup and speak at the African Cup of Nations. Around the 2000s the light of Morocco faded. Improvement measures such as monitoring the resources of the Moroccan diaspora in Europe, the construction of a football academy, the establishment of a football league and the construction of facilities.

Quoting the General President of the Moroccan Football Federation on the official website Fifacoaching football in Morocco is inseparable from the triangle of infrastructure, talent and qualified personnel.

With this formula, Morocco then serves as a reference in the development of football in other countries. More than that, the sweet fruit of that hard work is now being felt by Walid Reragugui and his adopted children.
