Moroccan Fans Surprise U17 National Team in Doha; Coach Nabil Baha Expresses Gratitude

The Moroccan U17 national team delegation experienced an exceptional night last Thursday evening when a group of Moroccan fans surprised the players and technical staff outside their hotel in Doha. This occurred just hours before the crucial FIFA U17 World Cup Round of 32 clash against the USA. In an exclusive presence, Albotola's team followed the warm reception given to the players live as they returned from their final training session. Cheers and prayers for success filled the air, creating an enthusiastic atmosphere that visibly boosted the team's morale.

National coach Nabil Baha expressed his delight at this support to Albotola, stating: “Thank you for this special presence. Wherever Moroccans are, they support their national teams, and we observed this during the Moroccan U20 national team matches in Chile and on many other occasions.”

Baha added that the young Lions enter this match with great desire and high spirits: “The players are motivated, and their goal is one: to achieve a positive result and make the Moroccan public happy.”

This fan initiative comes at a crucial time, as the national team aims to continue its global journey after qualifying from the group stage as one of the best third-placed teams, awaiting a tough test against an American team that finished its group with a perfect record.

Moroccan fans in Doha have once again demonstrated their strong presence, just as they did with the U20 national team at the World Cup in Chile, offering unwavering support and encouragement. This reflects the profound place football holds in the hearts of Moroccans wherever they may be.
