In a statement to Foot Africa, former Moroccan international Hassan Nader discussed the secrets behind the remarkable rise of Moroccan football in recent years.
This success of Moroccan football over the past few years is no accident. There has been significant groundwork, carried out following the recommendations and directives of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
First of all, modern infrastructure has been established across the country, which allowed for the creation of several academies, the most famous of which remains the Mohammed VI Academy.
It's also important to highlight the major role of Fouzi Lekjaa, president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF), who adopted an effective strategy by bringing in foreign coaches who have done tremendous work in talent identification and development.
Moreover, local coaches have benefited from training programs led by seasoned professionals.
As a result, Morocco has become a football powerhouse on the international stage, as evidenced by its fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup and its title at the U20 World Cup.
