The Mohammed VI Academy is spearheading a booming Moroccan football, driven by excellent training, the Spanish daily El Español emphasized on Saturday.
Since its creation, this leading training institution has profoundly transformed the structure of national football, shaping a generation of players capable of competing with the best teams in the world, the Iberian media wrote.
According to the article's author, the brilliant performance of the Atlas Lions during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, marked by a historic run to the semi-finals, was not the result of chance. It is part of a sustainable dynamic, fueled by years of strategic investment in training, talent scouting, and coaching young talents.
A true breeding ground for the Moroccan football of tomorrow, the Mohammed VI Academy identifies the Kingdom's best prospects from a very young age. These young people benefit from comprehensive support, combining technical improvement, educational monitoring, and psychological supervision, the newspaper noted.
The media added that this model is based on a philosophy of integral training, founded on discipline, high standards, and a deep commitment to the values of patriotism and self-improvement.
This sense of national pride, instilled from a young age, pushes Moroccan players to defend the Kingdom's colors with passion and determination on pitches all over the world, the publication continued. It recalled that Morocco currently holds the 12th position in the FIFA rankings and that its national U20 team won the World Cup.
Similarly, the national championship, the Botola Pro, is experiencing a remarkable boom, reaching a level of competitiveness comparable to that of certain major European leagues, El Español highlighted.
Thanks to this solid human, technical, and moral infrastructure, Morocco is now among the most serious candidates to win the 2030 World Cup, which it will co-organize with Spain and Portugal, the Spanish daily concluded.
