Morocco Fans Boston FIFA Message Quarter-Final France

The official fan zone in Boston had barely been dismantled when Moroccan supporters extended the celebration elsewhere. In the streets of downtown, at Boston Common and near halal restaurants, red jerseys and Moroccan flags quickly occupied the space.

According to Al Jazeera, supporters from Morocco, the United States and other countries gathered before the quarter-final against France, convinced that the Atlas Lions can continue their journey.

Confidence is strong, but it doesn’t erase the memory of the semi-final lost in 2022. Several supporters embrace the idea of a special match against the Blues, even though the players and staff publicly refuse to talk about revenge.

A sign for FIFA

In the midst of chants and dancing, a sign caught attention: "FIFA, keep it fair. Morocco will do the rest". Its author, Saeed Kuhail, a Moroccan supporter living in the United States, says he fears that a refereeing decision could weigh on the result.

He notably mentions the VAR controversy from the Argentina-Egypt match, but also the France-Morocco match in 2022, where Moroccan supporters believe a penalty should have been awarded to the Atlas Lions.

In Boston, the message is therefore clear: Moroccan supporters believe in their team, but demand a match without controversy. For them, if refereeing remains neutral, Morocco will have the means to bring down France.

This confidence survives even the absence of Ismael Saibari, who suffered a thigh injury. In the streets of Boston, supporters prefer to focus on the depth of the Moroccan squad and Mohamed Ouahbi’s ability to prepare a surprise.
