Ziyad Baha: "Mothers are the most important thing in life in our culture... They raised and educated us."

Ziyad Baha, a player for the Moroccan U17 national team, spoke about the pivotal role mothers play in Moroccan culture. His comments came after Morocco's decisive 16-0 victory over New Caledonia in the third round of the group stage at the U17 World Cup.

In a media statement, Baha said: "I believe that mothers in our culture are the most important thing in life. They are the ones who raised us and educated us. They are the best. My mother is the only woman, along with my sister, who is in my heart, and I hope she stays with me until the end."

Baha distinguished himself in yesterday's match against New Caledonia, scoring a brace that significantly boosted the Moroccan national team's chances of advancing to the Round of 16 in the U17 World Cup.
