The Arab world has been rooting for the brave North African team ever since their first match in footballs biggest tournament. Supporters across the UAE and around the globe have been ecstatic over their historic achievement.

Before the World Cup in Qatar kicked off, not many Moroccan fans would have thought that their team would go on to become the talk of the town. Yet, here they are, basking in the glory of their champions who have made the impossible look easy.
