World Cup 2022: Morocco is an example to emulate – CAF’s Mosengo-Omba

African nations are being asked by CAF General Secretary Mosengo-Omba to take notes from Morocco’s World Cup victory in Qatar in 2022.

The Atlast Lions overcame Portugal to advance as the first nation from Africa to the semifinals of the international competition. At Al Thumama Stadium, striker Youssef En-Nesyri scored the game-winning goal in the first half by leaping highest and outjumping goalkeeper Diogo Costa to the ball.

Almost uniquely in Africa, the country’s football federation is prepared to invest huge sums in the national teams, with the $20m (£16.29m) devoted to women’s football over a four-year period a clear example of its aims.

Morocco is an example to follow,” Mosengo-Omba told BBC Sport Africa.

“The government and the federation work hand-in-hand on football development of infrastructures and training programs.

“Besides, and in addition, CAF and its member associations also need to continue progressing on good governance practices to implement good intentions.”

Morocco will face holders France in the semifinals at Al Bayt Stadium on Wednesday.
