President Buhari and Moroccan team

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 says 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.
