Moroccans to welcome home history-making World Cup team
RABAT: Morocco’s national soccer team are set to return home Tuesday after accomplishing the seemingly impossible feat of finishing fourth at the World Cup in Qatar. Tens of thousands of Moroccans were expected to turn out to greet the players. As the first African or Arab team to reach the World Cup semifinals, the Moroccan team, known as the Atlas Lions, made history and were one of the big success stories of this year’s tournament, the first hosted by an Arab nation.
