ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ม.ค. 2025
- Morocco's incredible 2022 World Cup run won over neutral fans around the world. But they're more than just a tournament Cinderella story - Morocco might be one of the most football obsessed nations on the planet. From an amazing ultras scene, to passionate support for the men's and women's national teams, Morocco blends societal love of the game with success on the pitch. Here's how they do it.

Morocco is not arabe
Moroccans are crazy about : Foot - Ball .
I,am 1 of them since i was 4 years old ...
Long Live Morocco 🇲🇦 🙏
That is professional journalism! You managed to draw a clear portrait of MOROCCO beyond the cliches and the stereotypes.
Kingdom of Morocco 👑🇲🇦
Not really cliches about women, about islam, about men, about language and so on... We shouldn't let others make our identity. We have an identity and most of the time this is Arabic, muslim, African and berber.
@@aahdechoual6587who’s we? You’re not even Moroccan or African. You’re Arap. You have no Moroccan blood or Moroccan origins
@@John-pk9rwش المغرب بكل عرقياته بيدا عن النصريين المتخلفين عقليا وإنسانيا ويمكن حتا دينيا ل أن الإسلام يدعو إلى التوحيد وليس العنصرية
Oh this video is nothing but stereotypes, this is what we call in Darija “They feed you poison honey” . Totally left out the players that made huge impact that were raised in Muhammed VI academy,and pushed the Moroccans but it’s our product .
I was in Doha Qatar for World Cup &
I can confirm that Moroccan & Argentinians were the best ever football fans I’ve seen in my life !
They were very kind & generous:) love you Moroccans 🫶🏽
In football, Morocco has:
0 medal at the world cup in history
1 afcon only in history
53% of the players born in Europe
Don’t compare to Argentinians
@@Yessirz I was talking about fans my friend :)
@@Yessirz the players born in Europe but thier blood originally from Morocco bro and you have tge pleasure to watch them when they were playing because they did a great work on history that have never done someone before tke it as point
@@mariamagznay3329
Blood is the same human red for everybody. Lmao you think Morocco exists since the beginning of humanity? Use your brain cells
@@Yessirzthe world knows who is Morocco, keep criticizing us, we are making our history. Even if this subject doesn't concern you as Algerian, cs you got your own business to do. Work hard so you can achieve what Morocco do,
Each of Moroccan players chooses to play heartly with Moroccan team, have you recognized how they danced, chanted, and even talked during the World Cup, Nssiri, Aguerd, Bounou, Yamik, Atiyat Allah, Ziyech, Hakimi, Mezraoui...they are from Moroccan culture, holding Moroccan values..
I may ask you the same question about Mahrez, Bennacer those whose roots from Morocco too born in France, and other players who born and grown up in Europe. Is this a criterion to classify.
What about the growing of Women Moroccan Team, about the U23 Team, U17 team...
Rethink again brother.
Big love from 🇮🇹 to 🇲🇦 thank-you DW🇩🇪
italian people i swear you are as good as your spaguetti, delicious people, never get enough of you compagny, big love to you from morocco

If you love Football, Get yourself to Morocco
Marocco made me so intense happy with what they achieved this past World Cup. Genuinely had me sad when they were sent home. Seeing the entire Arab world celebrate had me in awe.
Def will be following them ❤💚
Footballs in Morocco it a culture, a Life style. Wich the best xor Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Morocco, the perennially overshadowed nation, where football flows through the veins of its people from the moment they enter this world. The Qatar World Cup served as a remarkable ignition, finally casting a spotlight on my beloved country. It acted as a guiding lighthouse, illuminating our path to the prestigious football podium. Deep in my heart, I fervently hope that the previous World Cup was merely an aberration in our enchanting narrative. I am almost certain that we are destined to script history once more, emphatically demonstrating that our cherished land is indeed a true footballing paradise and DIMA MAGHRIIIIIB 🇲🇦 DIMA SIDI KACEM!!!

The Moors are back , thank you for showing the world the passion of football in Morocco 🇲🇦
They are not the original moors. Thats like saying latinos are moors because we call ourselves Morenos
@@Usulutan1978we are moors
moroccans are moors (الموريسكيين )
@Yanel5795 of Course we are. Gibraltar named is literally named after the moroccan berberine general Tarek. Most of the Moors and later the andalusians are of Moorish/moroccan blood. DNA proved so did historical facts.
@oumchar what are you talking about, its a historical fact that the Moors were black people.
The fact that it's named gibraltar doesn't mean anything other than the people who live there today , post conquest.
named it that years ago.
And your dna evidence also doesnt mean anything, its a lack of knowledge and logic. For example if someone whos african america did a dna test alot of them have ancestry from spain , does that mean african americans are white Spaniards? No. It means people groups have moved around locations.
Thank you for delivering quality, professionalism and fairness about one nation's passion. You couldn't have produced a better image on football in Morocco 👏👏👏👏🇲🇦🇱🇷🇲🇦🇱🇷🇲🇦🇱🇷🇲🇦

I am Moroccan who spent 4 years of his childhood in Morocco. and I remember the incredible talents they played with on the street, unfortunately it's difficult to emerge, it's not like in Europe, so these kids lose hope after a while and go to work. in Morocco there is a quantity of talent growing up on the streets that you can't even imagine.

The Moors are back! Morocco proved in this Olympics that World Cup 2022 Semi finals was not based on luck but rather based on vision, ambition, and passion for football.
Because I know that the Moroccan icon, Regragui, will pass by here, I thought I would deliver a short and important message to him: In order to preserve what we are in, we must not rely 100% on the players formed in football institutions only, but we must establish national football institutions for countless reasons.

@@Yessirz haha 😹 such a buthurt bad loser who suffers from MOROCCAN syndrome,
it's so easy to guess from where you're, what passion has to do with tittles and trophies? You know what's passion ? Fervor ? Being hot blooded? It's just something you're born with , something you can't afford, so take it easy and learn to differentiate the fact of being a football industry nation and being an impassioned country by football .
Passion can't be built or bought, you can't buy it 😘
