Moroccan midfielder Sofyan Amrabat has said that his national team’s run to the semifinals of Qatar 2022 “united the Arab world”.
The Atlas Lions were one of the major players at the World Cup in November and December, becoming the first African team to reach the semifinals.
Amrabat, who plays his club football with Fiorentina in Italy, is being strongly linked with a move to the Premier League following his outstanding displays for Morocco at the tournament.
“As a child my dream was to represent my country at a world championship. It is a great honour to have represented my country for the second time at the largest football event in the world,” said Amrabat, as quoted by Tribal Football.
“In the past few weeks I have lived my dream. To every child in the world I say: dare to dream, never stop chasing your dreams. After Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 I am already dreaming of the 2026 World Cup.
“May this world championship be the beginning of a great moment for Moroccan, African and Arab football. We have conquered hearts, put African football on the world map and united the Arab world.
“A big thank you to the country of Qatar for the great hospitality. Thanks to supporters from all over the world, who supported us unconditionally. And of course a special thanks to our beloved King!”
