صحافة بلادي — The Moroccan indoor football team (Lions of the Hall), under the leadership of national coach Hicham El Dakik and under the supervision of the Royal Moroccan Football University, has become a global tactical phenomenon taught in FIFA courses, after monopolizing the African title for three consecutive tournaments and storming the top six places in the world rankings.

1. The scientific and tactical approach: kinetic identity (4-0) and high pressure
The rise of Moroccan Futsal to the top of the world pyramid did not come by chance. Rather, it was founded on a clearly defined tactical doctrine based on the (4-0) playing system based on absolute decentralization, rapid rotation of the ball from one touch, and high pressure in the opponent’s half of the field, while investing in the innate individual skill of the Moroccan player in tight spaces.
This approach was supported by accurate digital video analysis and a physical performance laboratory that measures explosive speed and recovery rates, which made the Moroccan national team physically and technically superior to well-established schools in Europe, South America and Asia.
2. Structure of the National Professional Futsal Championship (Divisions One and Two)
The national elite derives its strength from an organized national championship that includes experienced poles in the cities of Kenitra, Mohammedia, Settat, Tetouan, Laayoune, Berkane, and Martil, in addition to attracting Moroccan professionals active in the Spanish and French leagues, and providing an Olympic-standard covered hall inside the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Maamoura.
3. The spread of the Moroccan model and its impact on the development of the Maghreb and African futsal
The Moroccan success stimulated the Maghreb federations (in Libya, Egypt, Algeria, and Mauritania) to invest in indoor football competitions and create national teams and women’s teams for Futsal, which raised the competitive level of the African continent in the World Cup finals.
