The varied fan base was also a testament to the diversity of this team. The Moroccan squad comprised 14 of the 26 footballers who play for a country different from the one they were born in. Take for example, Achraf Hakimi. The fullback, who had calmly slotted home the winning penalty against Spain in the round of 16 match, was born in Madrid. So, in a way, he dealt the knockout blow to the country where he spent his childhood. Similarly, the 31-year-old goalkeeper Yassine Bounou is also a diaspora player who was born in Canada and spent eight years in Montreal before finally moving back to Morocco.
While there is certainly a deep social, political and economical aspect to it, the different upbringings of these players could have made the situation complex for the side. Fortunately, things have worked out well for Walid Regragui’s team. This is probably because the players found unity in diversity. They shared the dressing room over the last few years, connected with each other emotionally, and developed a chemistry between them.
Another big reason why the players bonded with each other is because of their parent’s sacrifice to give their children better lives. “My mother cleaned the houses and my father was a street vendor.
