Mohamed Amour calls to ignore the disinformation campaigns and to take pride in the Moroccan achievement.
Sports journalist Mohamed Amour confirmed that the historic achievement of Moroccan football is a natural result of hard work and the strong connection of Moroccans to their homeland, whether at home or abroad.
Amour, who was a guest on the "Hespress Debate" program, emphasized that reaching the quarter-finals and ranking Morocco among the top eight teams in the world is an achievement in itself, while also stressing the need for realism and humility, as matches are not decided before they are played, and facing the world champion runner-up requires high concentration and great respect for the strength of the opponent and the quality players they possess.
In his analysis of the national team's journey, Amour clarified that the biggest challenge faced by the Moroccan elite was not just achieving the surprise, but confirming this success and maintaining it.
He pointed out that the history of African football is filled with teams that shone once and then faded, while Morocco has managed to present a developed and stable performance that has made it the dominant force that intimidates its competitors. He attributed this success to coach Walid Regragui, who succeeded, since his first press conference, in changing the football mentality and raising the ambition from merely surpassing the group stage to genuinely competing for the title.
Regarding the systematic media campaigns and the disruption targeting Moroccan achievements, the former news director at "beIN Sports" adopted a rational approach questioning who benefits the most from attempts to spoil this sporting celebration.
He cited the existence of an organized media machine behind hundreds of thousands of offensive tweets, affirming that this hostile discourse is primarily aimed at internal consumption in neighboring countries. Amour urged Moroccan citizens to "plug their ears" and not to be drawn into these provocations or engage with fake accounts that thrive on anger for profit, while simply focusing on sharing and clarifying the Moroccan perspective in a civilized manner.
