we said there was never giving up every weekend on d. w. the one country has recently staked its claim to having the best bands in the world. welcome to morocco, a country which is simply a melting potent coaches has full. it's one of the games, most incredible fencing in the land, on the border of europe, where africa, mates, the arab world football is inseparable from society. i think it's that part of

culture so able to place people in america to every shy of time to one of the worlds fastest people jobbies and some of the best take those in the i'll try to say the job be something sacred to us. the time stands still like that. so we're in roswell, phase. we the, it's a war and morocco is not just as joining vacant cements football is also setting the standards for the women's game in the arab world, the, even the rock and women. so the lose sign in the future. phase fans one across the 2022 was given just by the page. so how has morocco's passion for people helped turn them into a pallet house?

tunzia known as the gateway between africa and europe. and the scene of morocco is recent to one victory of the brazil. we're following the rocco's incredible success at the 2022 world cup. as soon as he has them for football is that an old time pot and the own pitch success is largely thanks to one man, while a dread greg he uh, created the good atmosphere and the good meals for, for the team. and also he tried to bring the good, think of the best take from every player. read gregory, born in france, united a previously friction literal, co national team, a squad and fan base that had struggled with it. so identity embraced it's mostly

cultural. make up the i've been says want me to play, is it become one family, you know, and that's great harmony among them on the page is it that one person with their players who speak the range of the rock in arabic, those who speak a northern but dialects and those who use a southern pilot and 14 of the 26 players out the world cup was born in europe to american parents. they were 4 and friends and that's all in spring. and midland, also about the americans. they are 100 percent for you guys. the brent with them. this kind of looking for a density at the center of the squad. however, there are common things, tried to morocco and shed cultural values. family respects and also works the street in volumes, i guess. most sho, africans,

arabs and muslims can see themselves in this teen. and a fan stole the show at the top will come within the neutral hots of millions. with the chanting drumming, and passion. set up the workings have a deep love for football, and they cherish it from a young age. it's the house of the american team. this is the american makeup has also created a highly talented pool of football as yet until recently, they weren't living up to that potential teams trajectory truly changed in 2009 when the american football federation of a whole. the game instructions on the president fuzzy looked uh, investment in infrastructure and youth development increase, including the $70000000.00 mohammed, the 6 football complex. these conditions allowed right directly to sean. the capital codes highly organized defensive,

which is the introduced freedom of expression in attacks to bombard the opposition . following the atlas lions accessing the top is great optimism that they can become a true tallahassee before them inside plots. it's next steps declined the world off . there's another team, incense on budgeting, morocco's reputation. we're all goes capital robots. more than 50000 fans packed out the principal i abdullah stadium for the 2022 africa, a couple of nations spinal. there was a record for a women's football match in africa. america last the final against south africa. it represented a massive shift, the women's football, according to captain, his land shut back by him, thanks to the african type of nations. we manage to change societies. conception of women's fitful america. the lodge attendance and support from the fans as evidence . again, progress is thanks to the american f. a and

a 4 year plan introduced in 2020. they professionalized the top 2 divisions, provided set wages, the players and stuff at every club, and boasted groceries funding should ex club follow about a clear heavy weights funded by the men's team. they coach the best players. and if $110.00 of the cost $11.00 lead titles fall spending may have distorted the competition. but the club has set the standard and their investment has benefited the national team. the, the fall management is completely transformed the team, they become the backbone of the national side. what funny, like most countries in the world, women's football in morocco is facing many challenges to be accepted within society . but that's starting to change. i think the society's the more to learn about the girl play soccer by 10 years ago thinks will not say shit back is one of the 4th, the ones in the generation thus far,

the lobby should back was american international and encourage so drains to ton professional others what so for some of these we were afraid of allowing the daughters to play football and they prevented them from doing so because of what people would say. you know, they, so not everyone receives the same support and encouragement how we lost many talents, due to societal views and families, rejection about people's lives and let you know financial those views are still a challenge in conservative towns like was bad wash and then face obstacles during the planning and coaching career, but she's seen a massive improvements in founding m. l a was on in the late 1990 medina slid. i'm it wasn't the normal for parents to allow the door to to play football. and in fact, even engaging and running as a school was considered

a bad thing. both were considered exclusive to men. now there's a lot more freedom and opportunities in was on, with the club playing in the professionals. second, to the end of the events problem. most of the players here come from to a background and they circumstances of difficult issues can watch some of the previously unemployed to the heavy. and now they have a stable income that helps the families, especially because on with job opportunities unlimited us. and then that one of the 2023 will copy as seen as the next opportunity to cement women's full for the inter moroccan society. and while i'm a real co like the men's team, still rely on foreign born talents. the professionalization of the domestic legs will build the federal for future generations. and it's a dream thing for the it will help me in my future as i continue saying, is that when you go now what i want to become a great plan. okay,

so good teams and always improve my skills and have a nice video of the kids. i believe real change will come off to the low cost in australia or new zealand, based on the large crowds that she had on the roof, who in the advocate combinations support will also be solid as they tackles the best in the world. outcomes for this not from the sans is very encouraging and gives us motivation to continue our work. we have to be that teams at no one backs on, but ends up surprising. everyone, of course, american football success, men's and women's wouldn't be anywhere without the nation's b is passion for football. and a unique fan saying, with phonetic support backing them, the american national teams has made this dance proud. showcasing the country's multicultural society. so the, well we are moving them to what african

to me is that we are in the mix. what i see them, they see that this is the moral kind of the future because of the 2 to like this, this because the only that is a moral can be speaking german to speak. spanish speaking beverly, the men's unexpected success has shown that they can match the best in the world and also encourage dreams of the glory. if no one expected that morocco reached this, somebody finally bought a tools great to show the work that if we were, if you so well, know, 7 with the good people maybe could do something good. and the next step cements people. morocco is hostings of host the ass cold in 2025, and the holy grail, the 23rd, he broke that we've now got grades, infrastructure,

and big stadiums. we think dreaming of hosting the web cut for a long time. look at that. so unless you look, let me move beyond if the world copy is hosted in the rock of the title will be all those thanks to the players and the amazing fans. scroll and the zip code for details on the for the women, the world cup debut in australia and new zealand should bring even more visibility, funding and support to that cold opens with no, any results might not come quickly, but they're requiring more time and effort. you know, hasn't been need moroccan, women stickle will shine in with each other because they are suddenly leading the way forward for our nations which have a reputation to conservatism when it comes to women's rights and the quality morocco i'm the same or okay, it's not like it's not like quite or a level because you know,

things are enrolled in them. and there's no reason to doubt that the women cons, mimic, the men inclined the way up the world off the video is to the progress is happening . cuz i have the next generation can bring us joy and maybe even the world cup on the advocate account number 3, laurel codes, passions to football, sub and investment, and it's cultural values that may not be so apply in the sky. so after a few weeks in morocco, what can i say? it can be noisy, it can be coyote, but the people of hospitality coach out the passion, it's just next level. it's hands down, one of the best friends things i've ever experienced. a lot. if you love football, you felt american the
