Rabat - Morocco's national alpine skiing team made it on Thursday to the final phase of the FIS Alpine Ski World Championships, held in Cortina, Italy, on February 8-22.

The national team won its ticket for the final phase which took place on Friday thanks to skier Yassine Aouich, who occupied an honorable place among the top 100 athletes competing in the elimination phase of this world event, according to a statement from the Royal Moroccan Ski & Mountaineering Federation (FRMSSM).

The Moroccan delegation representing Morocco at these World Championships includes Yassine Aouich and Mehdi Id Yahya, in addition to the president of the Federation, Hicham Aït Ouarchikh, and its vice-president, Noureddine Bouchaâl.

This feat is the first of its kind in the history of the Federation, after the qualification of Morocco twice to the world championships in Sweden (2019) and Italy, the same source concluded.
