This singular approach is directly inspired by the winning formula experienced four years ago. During the Qatari tournament, the moving images of players celebrating their victories with their mothers went around the world. These scenes of joy had then highlighted the deep family values that characterize this sports group.

To facilitate this cohabitation without disrupting the squad’s concentration, specific accommodation measures have been taken. Families have dedicated housing located in New Jersey, in immediate proximity to the national team’s base camp. This organization allows footballers to maintain regular contact while remaining fully focused on their training.

Arriving early in the week in the United States under the direction of coach Mohamed Ouahbi, the delegation is currently fine-tuning its preparation before a friendly match against Norway scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, June 7. Their ambitions are immense since they achieved the historic status of first African and Arab nation to reach the semi-finals of a World Cup.
