He praised the young “Atlas Cubs” for their unity, confidence, and professionalism, describing their success as a reflection of Morocco’s growing football stature and the remarkable promise of its youth.
“We commend this sporting feat, the result of your high self-confidence, your unwavering belief in your potential and talent, and the spirit of unity and harmony you have demonstrated,” the King said.
