CORE SUBJECT

Morocco's victory in the Arab Cup football tournament

The Moroccan national team scored a "goal across continents" and concluded a year full of successes across various age groups by winning the Arab Cup, following an exciting 3-2 victory over Jordan after extra time in the final on Thursday at Lusail Stadium, amid rainy and stormy weather in Doha.

Morocco's goals were scored by Oussama Tannane with a shot from about sixty meters early in the match (4'), and substitute Abderrazak Hamdallah (88', 100'), while Jordan's goals came from Ali Alwan (48' and 68' from a penalty).

This is Morocco's second title after 2012, while Jordan failed to secure their first title in their first final appearance.

Following their historic achievement in the 2022 World Cup, also held in Qatar, where they became the first African and Arab team to reach the semifinals, the successes of Moroccan football have continued to rise.

This year, Morocco qualified for the 2026 World Cup, won the U-20 World Cup in Chile, the African Nations Championship for local players, and the U-17 African Cup, and capped the year with the Arab Cup title, noting that their senior team is preparing to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil starting Sunday.
