Morocco clinched the Arab Cup by defeating Jordan in a thrilling final held in Qatar. The match was tightly contested: Morocco opened the scoring early, but Jordan responded with two second‑half goals to take the lead. The Atlas Lions rallied, equalising in the 89th minute and then securing a 3‑2 victory in extra time thanks to a decisive strike from Abderrazak Hamdallah.
The triumph sparked widespread celebrations in Rabat, where hundreds of supporters gathered on Mohamed V Avenue, in cafés and on the streets, chanting and cheering for their team. The joy reflects the significance of the win for the nation, which has enjoyed a remarkable run of successes this year, including the African Nations Championship in August and the Under‑20 World Cup in October.
The Arab Cup featured 16 teams from across the region, six of them from Africa, and provided a platform for high‑level competition. Morocco’s victory is a testament to the squad’s hard work and dedication, underscoring their growing strength and competitiveness in international football.
Fans are now looking ahead to the next challenge: the Africa Cup. As one supporter put it, “After this cup, the next one is the Africa Cup.” With momentum on their side, the Moroccan team aims to build on recent achievements and bring home another trophy. For now, the focus remains on celebrating this latest victory and the pride it has brought to the country.
