In a report published on its website, FIFA celebrated the achievements of the Moroccan national team, which left the World Cup with honor after losing to France in the semi-finals on December 14, 2022.
The report features a picture symbolizing the sportsmanship of French football player Kylian Mbappé with Moroccan stars Achraf Hakimi and Sofiane Boufal in the dressing room corridor after the game, which ended with a 2-0 victory for the French team.
It also features video excerpts and photos immortalizing the frenzied atmosphere and the moments of joy within the stadiums that have hosted the national team's games.
"Croatia, Belgium, Canada, Spain, Portugal... All folded, or even collapsed, against the Atlas Lions hungry for glory and history in Qatar 2022," writes FIFA, looking back on Walid Regragui's men's "epic" semi-final against France.
"The Moroccans had nothing to be ashamed of in their performance - far from it," the world football authority said.
