Côte d'Ivoire: Europe and the Arabs
The road has become paved with roses for the Atlas Lions to win the current African Cup of Nations in Côte d'Ivoire and achieve a new achievement for Moroccan football after the honorable appearance and brilliance in the last World Cup in Qatar and achieving fourth place.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Tuesday, the Moroccan national team will play a strong confrontation against its counterpart, the South African national team, at the "Laurent Bokou" stadium, in an anticipated summit that brings together the two teams, within the round of 16 competitions of the 2023 African Cup of Nations, which is currently being held in Côte d'Ivoire until February 11. Next.
You can imagine that an international tournament is now missing teams such as Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Cameroon, and Senegal, the “defending champions,” but at the same time we cannot ignore that there are teams that have risen with effort, combat, and an honorable performance, such as Congo, Cape Verde, Guinea, and Côte d’Ivoire, the owner of the land and the public.
Therefore, the nominations are currently limited to Morocco, Côte d'Ivoire, and perhaps another team outside of expectations
If we all in the Arab countries hope that Morocco wins the championship, no one should be affected by some media reports that carried a statement by Moroccan technical director Walid Regragui in which he said, “We carry the flag of Morocco, not the flag of the Arabs,” because such statements are harmful and useless.
  He has the right to be proud of playing under his country's flag, but he must not forget that his country is an Arab country and enjoys the encouragement of the Arab countries and their hopes for him.
But if these statements were false, then an official clarification would have been issued by those responsible for Moroccan sports. We will not allow such statements, “if they were true,” to cause us, as Arabs, more harm, division, and division.
But if it is false, then those who promote it must be exposed, and Arab and Islamic brotherhood must be emphasized and adhered to in the face of any malicious attempts.
