Morocco Stuns with 5th Place Finish in Debut Amputee Football World Cup

The Moroccan players were eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Amputee World Cup. Coach Fouad Assou’s protégés were stopped in their tracks by Turkey, the host country of this competition. But for the classification match, they managed to defeat Italy.

The history will therefore remember that for their first participation in the Amputee World Cup, Morocco beat Ireland (6-0), faltered against Brazil (0-2), before making amends against Argentina (4-1), thus qualifying for the quarter-finals.
