Widespread celebration

A wide wave of pride and joy spread across social networking sites after the coronation of the Moroccan team, as Moroccans and Arabs celebrated the unprecedented achievement and considered it “a victory for all Arabs.”

The hashtags “Morocco, World Champion” and “Atlas Lions” topped the trend list in a number of Arab countries, and activists shared clips of the coronation moments and players’ celebrations on the field, amid praise for the fighting spirit and tactical discipline that distinguished the team throughout the tournament.

According to circulated photos, Moroccan streets were covered with the country’s flags and the sounds of trumpets and chants, in a scene that activists described as “a night of Arab pride from the ocean to the Gulf.”

King Mohammed VI, King of Morocco, sent a congratulatory telegram to the members of the Moroccan national team, congratulating them on this historic coronation and victory in the World Championship.

Moroccan achievement

According to the website “Al Jazeera Net“Tweeters described this victory as a great achievement that consolidated the position of Moroccan football among the greats, after an amazing process of development in a few years, which began with fourth place in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, through the African Championship title and Olympic bronze, all the way to the historic coronation in the World Youth Cup.

Activists confirmed that Morocco has become a true global football power, and a prominent candidate to compete for the 2026 World Cup alongside major teams such as Argentina, Spain and France, as the first Arab and African team to achieve this achievement at the expense of stubborn Argentina.

Other tweeters pointed out that the mere fact that the Moroccan team reached the semi-finals in the previous edition of the World Cup in Qatar was enough to dazzle the world, considering that the sports administration in Morocco, led by Fawzi Lakjaa, represents a successful model in planning and institutional work.

Some activists called on Arab countries to benefit from the Moroccan experience in sports management, which combined vision, ambition, and tangible results on the ground.

Arab pride

Tweeters stressed that “the new generation of Moroccan football continues to write history after the achievements of the first team in the last World Cup,” while others expressed their hope that this tournament will usher in a new golden era for Arab football.

Others also described the Moroccan team’s victory as a historic victory in performance and result, stressing that “the Atlas Lions wrote history in golden letters,” after they achieved the first Arab crown in the World Youth Cup.

Commentators pointed out that the Moroccan national team presented a heroic and unforgettable performance that honored Arab football and proved that the Arab dream of competing in major tournaments has become a reality on the field.

It is noteworthy that Morocco is the first Arab country and the second African country to win the title after Ghana, which won it in 2009 and lost the final twice in 1993 and 2001, so that Morocco continues to write a new chapter of the honorable African presence in international forums.
