Morocco is the surprise of the Qatar World Cup. Yassine Bon's team reached the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time after defeating Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal in the quarter-finals last Saturday.
With this, the team became the first team from the African continent to secure a ticket to the last four in the World Cup. However, Morocco's dream is even bigger. They are obsessed with the dream of playing in the final. And many Moroccans want to join Qatar to be a part of the team's dream.
They want to enjoy their country's match directly from the gallery. They want to give encouragement and support to the team's 11 stars. And for this reason, Morocco's state-owned airline Royal Air Maroc is launching 30 additional special flights. So that Moroccan football fans can enjoy their country's first match in the semi-finals directly at the field.
In a statement on Monday, Royal Air Maroc said that the flights will depart from Casablanca, the commercial capital of Morocco, for Doha on Tuesday and Wednesday. Morocco will face powerful France in the semi-final on Wednesday (December 14) at 1 am. The 'Moroccans' will arrive in Doha before that. The Moroccan people are known as 'Marocs'.
Morocco is showing one surprise after another at the Qatar World Cup. The defense of this North African country has surprised everyone. In the first five matches, the opponent could not put a ball in Morocco's net. One goal was scored, but it was a suicide.
