The Reuters agency confirmed in its report that this crowning represents a major turning point in the path of Moroccan and Arab football, as the "Atlas Lions" were able to overthrow prestigious teams on their way to the final, most notably Spain and Brazil, before concluding the journey with a historic victory over Argentina.

Reuters concluded by pointing out that this historic achievement may open up new horizons for young Moroccan talents, and give the first team an additional incentive to continue progress in the upcoming global competitions.
