Coach Pepe Mel: Morocco is now establishing itself as a reference in world football

Speaking on the Spanish radio station Onda Cero, the Iberian coach did not hide his admiration for the profound transformation of the Moroccan football landscape, driven by the preparations for the Africa Cup of Nations and the 2030 World Cup. According to him, this rise is based on a clear strategic vision, combining modernity, anticipation and long term ambition.

Pepe Mel particularly highlighted the scale of the Grand Stade of Tangier, which he describes as a very high level facility, both in terms of its capacity and its architecture. He notably pointed out that this stadium exceeds, in terms of capacity, the Metropolitano Stadium of Atletico Madrid, while also standing out for its remarkable aesthetics, reflecting Moroccan expertise in sports facilities.

Referring also to the future Grand Stade of Casablanca, the Spanish coach considers that Morocco today has all the necessary assets to host global events, foremost among them the 2030 World Cup. In his view, the investments made have enabled the Kingdom to equip itself with facilities that meet the most demanding international standards.

On the sporting level, Pepe Mel also wished to praise the quality and cohesion of the national team. While he highlights the driving role of Brahim Diaz, whom he considers a true technical leader, he above all insists on the depth of the squad and the collective balance of the Atlas Lions, key elements of their competitiveness on the international stage.

In conclusion, the coach of Ittihad of Tangier said he is proud and enthusiastic to be part of this new era of Moroccan football, which he considers structured, ambitious and resolutely oriented toward excellence. A trajectory that confirms Morocco as an unavoidable player in world football.
