Morocco is set to play its first World Cup match in Mexico on Monday, facing the Netherlands in the Round of 32.
A festive atmosphere in Monterrey on Sunday as Morocco fans gathered at the Macroplaza ahead of their team’s Round 32 World Cup match against the Netherlands.
It’s Morocco’s first stop in Mexico after playing their first three Group C games in the United States, drawing with Brazil before defeating Scotland and Haiti to reach the knockout stage.
“The game in New York felt like the center of the world, we had the French walking around, the Brazilians, the Scots, the Algerians, the Argentinians, everyone was there, New York feels like the conglomeration of the world," says Morocco fan Alia Lahlou.
"Here feels very Mexican, very Moroccan, so I think they’re both unique. It’s a privilege and a blessing to be able to attend both.”
