Mohammed VI Academy: A Cornerstone of Moroccan Football’s Growth
The Mohammed VI Academy continues to assert its status as a crucial driver of the renewal of Moroccan football, thanks to an exemplary training model recognized internationally, reported the Spanish daily El Español on Saturday. Since its inauguration, this institution has profoundly transformed the national sports ecosystem by uncovering talents capable of competing with the great footballing nations.
According to the Iberian media, the remarkable performances of the Atlas Lions during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, culminating in a historic qualification for the semi-finals, are part of a long-term strategy. This success is the outcome of sustained investments in training, talent scouting, and support for young Moroccan players.
As a true breeding ground for national football, the Mohammed VI Academy identifies promising talents early across the Kingdom. These young athletes benefit from comprehensive training that combines technical development, rigorous academic oversight, and psychological support. This model is based on a holistic approach that values discipline, excellence, and a deep commitment to the values of patriotism and engagement.
This sporting and moral identity, instilled from childhood, strengthens the determination of Moroccan players to represent their Kingdom with pride on the international stage. The daily also reminds us that Morocco currently holds the 12th position in the FIFA rankings, while the national U20 team distinguished itself by winning the World Cup.
Meanwhile, the Botola Pro is experiencing notable growth, reaching a level of competitiveness comparable to that of several major European leagues. This evolution confirms the strength of the Moroccan football ecosystem and the relevance of the strategic decisions made in recent years.
With a solid technical, human, and moral foundation, Morocco now appears as one of the most credible competitors to win the 2030 World Cup, which it will co-organize with Spain and Portugal, concludes El Español.
