Moroccan eyes are watching the World Cup in Uzbekistan

The “Atlas Lions” team shined during the African Cup of Nations Indoor Football on its home soil, in which they clearly dominated its course, and achieved the full mark by winning the continental title for the third time in a row, and qualifying for the World Cup in Uzbekistan.

Since 2010, national voter Hicham Dakik has been able to take advantage of this exceptional period on the bench of the Moroccan national team to form an invincible team in Africa, made up of talented players practicing at the highest level.

After the national team won the Continental Cup titles in 2016 and 2020, the 2024 tournament once again confirmed the dominance of football inside the National Hall on the continental scene with the third consecutive coronation.

After dominating the group stage with three victories in the same number of matches (Angola/5-2, Ghana/8-3, Zambia/13-0), the Moroccan team achieved the full mark and guaranteed itself a distinguished place at the top of the standings before the semi-finals.

In the double semi-final (qualification to the final and the 2024 World Cup), the “Atlas Lions” did not deviate from their customs, as they outperformed the Libyan national team in performance and score (6-0) to reach the final match.

In the final match against the Angola national team, the day before yesterday, Sunday, in the indoor hall of the Prince Moulay Abdullah Sports Complex in Rabat, Hicham El Dakik’s men refused to miss such a wonderful opportunity on their home soil and in front of their fans to give themselves the third continental crown and thus equal Egypt’s record.

As the national voter said after the continental cup handover ceremony, this coronation was not a mere coincidence, but rather the result of diligent and continuous work.

He added: “Great efforts were made to achieve this result, thanks to intensive training and continuous work.”

The superiority of the national indoor football team in recent years, which now makes it one of the best teams in the world, is primarily a result of the great support provided by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation and the increased interest of many clubs in this type of sport, as well as the enthusiasm of the Moroccan public. .

The development of the national championship, which rose from a two-group championship to a professional championship, thanks in particular to the support of the Royal Moroccan Football University, which provides ideal conditions for success, is not strange to football inside the National Hall. In addition to this, there is high-level national technical training, without forgetting that Morocco has a large group of talented young players.

The radiance of this type of sport also falls within the framework of the dynamism aimed at developing various sporting disciplines in Morocco, thanks to the enlightened vision of King Mohammed VI.

Through this dynamic, football inside the National Hall undoubtedly has a bright future ahead of it, under the leadership of the very experienced Hicham Dakik, a former Moroccan international player.

The next, but not the last, challenge for the “Atlas Lions” is the World Cup scheduled from September 14 to October 6, 2024 in Uzbekistan.

The Moroccan national team, which reached the quarter-finals of the last tournament in 2021 in Lithuania, where it was narrowly defeated by the Brazilian national team, aspires to go far in the most prestigious international indoor football competition, and why not win the title.

Thanks to many qualifications and great experience in major continental, regional and international competitions, the “Atlas Lions”, under the leadership of Hisham Dakik, one of the most prominent makers of the national team’s success, no longer have limits after they reached the summit of Africa.
