Hamdi: Morocco is solid in the World Cup.

Mohamed Hamdi, the director of international affairs at the Dutch club Feyenoord Rotterdam, confirmed that the renaissance of Moroccan football was not a coincidence, but rather the result of a long-term strategic vision led by King Mohammed VI, alongside the efforts of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation under the presidency of Fouzi Lekjaa. He considered that the kingdom has become one of the most prominent football models on the international stage today.

Hamdi, who previously served as the CEO of the Dutch club ADO Den Haag and managed communication and marketing at the Emirati club Al Jazira, explained in an interview with Hesport that Morocco has succeeded in transforming football into a lever for economic and social development, thanks to investment in youth, infrastructure, and training. He praised the ambition behind the "Kingdom of Football" project, affirming that the "Atlas Lions" possess the qualities that qualify them to compete for the World Cup title in the future.

I believe that what Morocco has achieved was not a coincidence, but rather the result of a clear and ambitious vision that has been implemented steadily over more than fifteen years.

Under the leadership of the president of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, Fouzi Lekjaa, and thanks to the strategic vision and continuous support of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, football has become more than just a sport; it has transformed into a driver for youth development, education, economic growth, and enhancing the international visibility of the kingdom.

The king has always considered sports an investment in the future of Moroccan youth, which has enabled Morocco to build world-class sports facilities and adopt a sustainable development policy whose results are now clearly visible.

One of the most significant milestones was the establishment of the Mohammed VI Football Academy in 2009, which provided a comprehensive environment for talent development, combining sports training, education, medical care, and access to the latest sports science technologies.

Today, several Moroccan internationals have graduated from it, including Youssef En-Nesyri, Nayef Aguerd, Azzedine Ounahi, and Osama Targhalline, who currently represents Feyenoord Rotterdam.

Morocco has also succeeded in attracting Moroccan talents who grew up in Europe through an effective strategy, creating a strong blend between players trained within the kingdom and their counterparts graduated from the best European academies, making this composition one of the national team's key strengths.
