RabatFawzi Lakjaa, President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, confirmed that Morocco has moved from the stage of building an integrated football project to the stage of competing for the biggest international titles, stressing that the current ambition is to win the World Cup in the coming years.
Lakjaa explained, during a television interview from the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Maamoura, that the boom that Moroccan football is experiencing is not a circumstantial result or linked to temporary results, but rather the result of an integrated strategy launched under the directives of King Mohammed VI since 2008, which made sport a lever for development, youth formation, and the promotion of the values of discipline and citizenship.
In his response to questions related to attracting dual nationality players, Lakjaa stressed that the choice to represent Morocco is not governed by financial considerations, but rather is based on a clear and professional sports project, supported by an advanced infrastructure and emotional and cultural ties that unite these players with their native country.
He also denied the existence of what is described as “Moroccan influence” within the bodies of the Confederation of African Football, considering that what Morocco has achieved reflects its natural position and its deserved presence within continental and international sports institutions, within a framework of transparency and institutional work.
Regarding the historic achievement achieved by the Moroccan national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Lakjaa revealed that the involvement of the players’ families, especially mothers, was part of the strategy of mental training and psychological support, in line with the Moroccan cultural specificity and contributing to enhancing the moral stability of the players.
As for the 2030 World Cup, he explained that the selection of the opening and final stadiums will remain subject to FIFA standards, related to capacity, infrastructure and logistical services.
Lakjaa concluded by emphasizing that Morocco continues to invest in training, sports structures, and human competencies, with the aim of consolidating its position among the world’s top teams and turning the dream of the world crown into an achievable goal.
