HIBAPRESS – Casablanca
The American network ESPN considered the crowning of the Moroccan national team under the age of twenty with the World Cup in Chile a historic event by all standards, describing the victory as "the crowning of an amazing journey" that embodied the development of Moroccan football in recent years.
The network pointed out that Morocco did not go to the championship just to participate, but rather imposed itself from the first match as a new force in world football, after it presented a steady and effective performance that led it to the podium for the first time in its history. ESPN explained that this achievement is the first global title for a Moroccan team at any age level, making it a turning point in the record of national sports. She added that the victory over Argentina in the final was not a coincidence, but rather the result of long and continuous work within a professional system that combines planning and good training of talents. The American network considered that the Moroccan national team presented a model to be emulated in how to combine skill, discipline and team spirit, which are factors that made it the surprise of the tournament and the inspiration of African and Arab peoples. ESPN concluded its analysis by emphasizing that this coronation will give Moroccan football a strong boost towards the future, and make the “Atlas Cubs” a symbol of a new generation capable of competing at the highest international levels.
