Their investment in a Center for Excellence has paid off. Coupled with their thriving local league, the conveyor belt for new talents is very active.

Nigerian football officials chose the short-cut of courting foreign born players to the detriment of local league development and this has backfired spectacularly. Time to re-order our priorities really!

If you see how I was praying yesterday eh. Oh! I was so glad that finally .....

Realists:
Arab money, Arab football, Arab technology, Arab Oil Arabs to the world. Those hating Qatar hosting right are now support Morroco to do Africa proud. Including our wailing wailers.

Morocco is mostly Berbers

Tribalism, Selfishness no go gree Nigeria reach that level

Such can never work in Nigeria... players will still be selected based on who bribed who, and who knows who and tribal/ religious sentiments. The problem with Nigeria is NIGERIANS!

What success story ..

They got to qf via ok

They sack their coach three months to the world cup

Morocco hasn't won Afcon since 76

Discipline and organization.....

Not forgetting determination.


The north Africans have the best football leagues in Africa.

NFF shud learn from Moroco football association

Topmaike007:
is Morocco in Middle East or Africa??

For that useless player saying they won for arabian world there own don finish be that

Algerian , Morocco and Tunisia don't see themselves as Africans.....

Am not happy for them, but am not hating them either.

I just wish an African country won it.

...kudos to Morocco, but you see, the major problem in African football in most international scene is 'having the underdog mindset of victory over celebration' this affected the super eagles in France 98 wc, it also affected the Saudi Arabian team as well cos after winning Argentina, they relaxed a bit and its clearly apparent the way they (saudi) took their other two remaining matches.... We all know Morocco won yesterday, thanks to penalty shootout but truth be told, the Spanish team would have won the match due to Morocco's excessive 'back pass' errors and last minute attempt just slightly hitting the goal post... If morocco takes the Portuguese side, the way they played Spain, then I'm sorry they might just be sent packing..

Because Spain team are not in good shape who's Morocco, there's corruption in Nigeria football association but Morocco success in world cup doesn't hold any water for debate.

Spain football is declining if you've been observing.
Meanwhile every team in the world came to win.

Nonetheless I dont see Morroco in semi final.

Peter Obi will not change Nigeria. The problem of Nigeria is entrenched laziness.....

chrisxxx:
Nigeria problem and other African teams problems do not need much diagnosis to be resolved. You cant use a product rejected in Europe to contend with Europe's best. Africans teams are fond of using players sitting on the bench in European teams to form bulk of their team players. A player sitting on the bench in Europe cant contend against the said players who benched him in Europe.
Africans need to source their best talents from their local leagues.
If given the chance Orji Uzor Kalu can pick only players in Nigerian league to win world cup or perform beyond the highest reach of any African team at the senior world cup.
Use players playing regularly and not players sitting on the bench. Use our raw strength to the fullest and not the technicality of Eupropean football.

So why has the local players themselves not won champions league for so many years and still failed to qualify for the Chan championship

Himtulie247:
My kind of football Model Development

Aswear Mods should reserves enough Bans for the BOOTYBALLER cos these are one of the people killing football in Africa

This is nothing but magic. Nothing we r not going to see because Morocco qualify for quarter final now. Imagine somebody tagging two yrs talent development to a world cup success. Is it that simple? How about Qatar of over 10yrs prep. Perhaps it was professor Phela that handle their development. Nonsense.

This a stroll down the memory lane of what the Royal Moroccan Football Federation have done to now be reaping the reward here in Qatar.

In July 2022, Morocco hosted a FIFA Talent Development Scheme workshop as part of the Talent Development Plan launched by FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development Arsene Wenger in 2020

Morocco coach Walid said himself and his team are representing and making Africa proud not Arabs.

Sleekfingers:


Algerian , Morocco and Tunisia don't see themselves as Africans.....

Walid said they're representing Africa and not the middle East or Arabs, he was asked the same question yesterday.

Do you know that Morocco hasn't conceded open goal or lost a match in this world cup ?

owobokiri:
All these long story.
They were playing trash until they changed their coach
The young coach who is barely 3 months on the job is the secret to their success

Did u believe that trash. Imaging somebody relating to years football development to a world cup success. Isn't that a joke.

WibusJaga:
.

Kudos to Morocco.
Fact is; most excellent schemes that worked elsewhere, often fail in Nigeria because we have failed to rise above Tribalism, Nepotism, etc thereby relegating Competence & Merit to the background.

You forgot to add corruption aka Piniki

Our problem majorly is we want an instant result ... unfortunately nothing is instant in football...we don't want to invest but we want to shock the world ...for where now...just take a look at how we have been playing in years...before this brunt...we are a possession based side...i could remember we played Egypt out of the pitch just this Las Afcon....the problem is it's getting obvious we haven't been growing In any way with out football...

Create good training pitch...

Improve the local leagues

Send Nigerian coaches out to learn

Build a playing style from kid age academy

With all this ...it's just a matter of time ...our football will shock the world

We have thousand of people out of which hundreds are very talented...most of this talent only waste with time ..ones again i will rephrase...."nothing is instant in football"....no pain no gain!!!

BLAHAHAH BLAHAHAHA BLLAHAHAHAH

NONSENSE TALK AS ALWAYS.... BAD LEADERSHIP WON'T TAKE NIGERIA ANYWHERE

WE WILL NEVER BE CLOSE TO MORROCO.... BECAUSE OF BAD LEADERSHIP

LOOK AT MORROCO ALL THEIR TOP 11 IS ALL IN EUROPE, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO US

BUT BAD LEADERSHIP AND CORRUPTION AND NEPOTISM WILL NEVER NEVER NEVER DRIVE NIGERIA FORWARD

robosky02:
The development of football in Morocco is based on a three-pronged approach focusing on


1. facilities,

2.talent and

3 well-qualified staff.


If Nigeria NFF like will do same we can go far our leagues should have better facilities stadiums, TV rights etc, the talents and many here let's fetch them enough of monitoring and convincing players born in Europe and of caused get the best coaches for the national teams and make enabling environment for local coaches to upgrade their license

They have gone far, yes we all know that. But you guys should calm down. Is not like morocco has done anything more serious than other African countries. Maybe luck is on their side too at the world cup cos morocco has not achieved anything tangible in football for a long time now and we knew how they crashed out from the Nations cup with this same set of players. They are doing fine presently at the world cup is just the way it is. Nothing extraordinary to study about their football federation.

Swanzi:

Look the teams that have won the CHAN they are doing better. The local players are also facing the best in Africa. Take them to face the world they will beat the world.

Am not just looking at their national male team

See their overall development in football


Example some years back thy can't even stand any female team from Nigeria
But today, they beat us in women afcon qualified for their first female world cup,
At women club level they defeated our champion Bayelsa Queen's and even Memolodi Ladies to win CAF women champion league

Their facilities are top notched, they are bidding to host lots of competition

And most importantly their league is growing

nigerians always want shortcut

Solutions

- Fix the league, if the league is not on TV there is no growth.
- Package the league games- i watched an NPFL league game it looks like it was recorded in 1950
- Organised school competitions from primary school
- Local government cup all ages.

- incorpororate some of the u20 into super eagles from time to time. The u20 and u17 are the academy for super eagles. it was done before eg aghahowa, jayjay etc

Dont wait until the player blows or scores in europe before inviting him.


Merit based selection

Faciliies maintenance


More importantly Nigerian coaches are archaic,

A proper FA usually setups a coaching certification program, Nigeria can copy what Brazil and other South american countries are doing as they dont have the resources.

So much but i dont have time right now
