National coach Mohamed Wahbi sent a heartfelt message to Moroccan fans through his official account on the “Instagram” platform, apologizing for the performance delivered by the “Atlas Lions” in their match against France in the World Cup quarter-finals. Wahbi emphasized in his message that the ambition remains despite the end of the tournament journey for the Moroccan team.
Wahbi’s post included words expressing regret, writing: “Our journey ended yesterday, but our ambition did not end… We apologize for not being able to deliver the match you deserved.” The national coach also did not forget to extend thanks and gratitude to King Mohammed VI for his continuous support and the wise vision he provides for national football, reflecting the crucial role of the royal institution in supporting sports.
Mohamed Wahbi added a special thank you message to Moroccan fans both inside and outside the country, confirming that their love, trust, and encouragement were the motivation and strength for the team until the last moments of the tournament. These words reflect the strong relationship between the players and the fans and highlight the national spirit prevailing in Moroccan football circles.
Wahbi concluded his post with a message that inspires hope and optimism for the future, saying: “God willing, we will come back stronger. The future looks brighter, God willing, always Morocco.” It is worth mentioning that the Moroccan team bid farewell to the World Cup competitions at the quarter-final stage after losing to France 2-0 in a match that did not sufficiently reflect the ambitions and aspirations of the fans, who expressed their disappointment due to the performance and not just the elimination.
