This program includes "four individual training sessions per week, each lasting one hour". The objective is to help the players "maintain their physical condition" and "raise their level of preparation" for assured performance in "the next continental deadlines", Bourkane stressed, before adding that to ensure good preparation of the players, the technical management has divided them into several groups of "six to eight people".

He recalled that the training camps started by the national team in preparation for its participation in several continental and international competitions have been canceled due to the pandemic. In addition, the Moroccan Association for Small People has launched a solidarity campaign for the families of these people in order to mitigate the economic effects of the pandemic. An operation that has received the support of many players, both former and new.

The national football team of small people is one of the thirty teams officially invited by FIFA "to participate in the first edition of the World Cup, which will be held in Argentina in April 2021".
