Tantan – The head of the football department at Spain’s LaLiga, Juan Florit, said that Morocco’s national football team has established itself among the elite of international football and is now considered one of the best teams in the world.
Speaking to the Moroccan news agency (MAP), Florit said Morocco has achieved strong results in recent years at both continental and international levels, which has allowed it to join the ranks of global football powers.
He said the strength of the Moroccan team lies in its balance, as it combines young rising talent with experienced players, creating a well-structured and competitive squad.
Florit also expressed his best wishes for Morocco ahead of the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
He also noted the growing presence of Moroccan players in Spain’s first and second divisions, noting that many have become key players in their clubs. He said Moroccan players are now among the most represented foreign nationalities in Spanish football academies after Spanish players, a sign of their strong development.
According to him, young Moroccan players show natural talent and tactical maturity that help them succeed in the highly competitive Spanish football system.
Florit also described Morocco as a strategic partner for LaLiga and said the Spanish league is committed to strengthening cooperation between Moroccan and Spanish football systems.
He pointed to the “Next Gen Draft” program, organized by LaLiga and EA SPORTS, which is hosting eight young Moroccan talents this year, including four girls and four boys. The program aims to give young Moroccan players hands-on training experience in Spain and exposure to professional coaching methods used by top Spanish clubs.
He said this kind of experience will help improve their skills and competitiveness.
Looking ahead to the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which Morocco will jointly host with Spain and Portugal, Florit said the tournament is a major opportunity for both sides of the Strait of Gibraltar.
He added that the next four years will be important for expanding cooperation between Morocco and Spain and maximizing their shared football potential.
