We are proud Africans and no one can change that! This last few weeks I enjoyed some of the best moments with my friends and loved ones! I felt what it means to be passionate and patriotic! It's more than football for us! It's celebrating our country, our king, our people and our development!”.

She also applauded the Moroccan team, stating, “Shoutout to our coach and the players for moving in dignity and pride! You have made us proud!
