President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the Moroccan team, the Atlas Lions, and the ruler of the country, King Mohammed the VI for making history by becoming the first team from an African country to ever qualify for the World Cup semi finals at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
President Buhari revealed that Morocco has made the entire continent proud with their grit and dexterity, giving hope that an African team can indeed win, and should win the ongoing global championship in Qatar.
President Buhari in a statement issued by his senior special assistant on media and publicity Garba Shehu commended the team for their skill and teamwork, noting at the same time that this could not have been achieved without the exemplary role of the Moroccan authorities in putting together a formidable team.
