Rabat - Asharq al-Awsat
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI held a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron following Wednesday’s 2022 World Cup semi-finals match between France and Morocco. Mohammed congratulated Macron for France's triumph which has put the team into the World Cup final. The call came on the eve of the visit of French Minister for Foreign and European Affairs Catherine Colonna to Rabat. Colonna arrived in France on Thursday to meet Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita and discuss pending issues between both states and prepare for the visit of Macron to Rabat at the end of January. Following the game, King Mohammed VI held a phone call with Morocco coach Walid Regragui. The monarch thanked the Moroccan football players for their brilliant achievements and wished them luck for the upcoming match. The King praised the performance of Regragui for having been able, in only a few months at the head of the national team, to forge a group of players so compact and so combative, to the point of marking this competition and honoring the Moroccan people and the international public by his high values of sportsmanship and his exemplary talent. The King also spoke with the captain of the national team Romain Saiss to whom the Sovereign wished a speedy recovery from his injury, and congratulated him for his leadership while asking him to convey warm congratulations to the whole team.
