Morocco Makes African History Again

Morocco has set a proud example for Africa at the World Cup, achieving several milestones over the past six decades. The Atlas Lions were the first African country to qualify directly for the 1970 finals in Mexico, returned in 1986 to become the first team from the continent to make the last 16, and then made an impressive semi-final run in Qatar four years ago. freshyourfeel.org

Even if they lose to France, Morocco has already secured its place in history. As other African sides struggle with off-field problems, the Atlas Lions have delighted fans at home with their consistent performance on the world stage.
