For the defender, this jersey represents far more than simple sportswear, as he associates it with a history of “roots, family and heart.” He said he had always acted with a sense of responsibility and indescribable pride to defend the national flag.

Saïss made a point of thanking his teammates, whom he described as family, as well as all the technical and medical staff. He expressed particular gratitude to Moroccan supporters, describing their unconditional support as an essential driving force that helped him surpass himself on the pitch.

The player also expressed his appreciation to King Mohammed VI for his vision of sport. In his view, the Federation’s efforts and the development of national infrastructure have enabled Morocco to become a true benchmark on the global football stage.
