A large fan support accompanies the "Atlas Lions" in the World Cup in the United States.
The eyes of the world are on the match between Morocco and Brazil in the World Cup finals tomorrow, Saturday, as the "Atlas Lions" rely on player number 12; the massive Moroccan fans who have flocked to American soil.
Sports experts believe that the impressive voices of Moroccans in the stands will be a "winning card" for Wahbi's team against the Brazilian national team; as it will create psychological pressure on the opponent, similar to what happened in the match against Norway.
Abdelaziz Belghiti, a sports critic and analyst, stated that Morocco, as the African Cup champion by law, enters the competition with its second star as a heavy competitor in the United States, not just to present a respectable participation, but to challenge the big teams like France, Spain, and England, where it is now taken seriously. Accordingly, Moroccan fans have mobilized strongly, similar to the Qatar 2022 edition, along with members of the diaspora settled in large numbers in America and neighboring countries like Canada, Latin America, and Europe.
Belghiti added in a statement to Hespress that the matches are witnessing record attendance; tickets sold out quickly, and the matches will be held with closed doors, especially the opening match of Group C between Morocco and Brazil, as well as the first-round matches and the upcoming rounds despite the significant rise in ticket prices, indicating that this "exceptional Moroccan fan presence brings to mind the atmosphere of Qatar, where players feel as if they are running in Casablanca or Rabat.
He continued: "The fans confirm their loyalty to the Moroccan national team despite the weather fluctuations and heat, inspiring the players with the famous phrase 'Sirr.. Sirr', which was evident two days ago in the match against Norway where fans celebrated the performance and the result. This unparalleled support and momentum from the fans leaves a positive impact on the players and the management team, playing a significant role in motivating them to always give their best."
