SME-About Almountakhab Moroccan newspaper-Written by: Badr Al-Din Al-Idrisi
It is a path we have walked, sometimes the soul was constricted, sometimes the sky was gloomy, sometimes the edifice of hope collapsed and hope was disappointed once, twice and five times, but we did not despair, nor did we complain or get bored, the dream remained awake within us, driving away the nightmares of defeat, and the fact is that we were not defeated, but rather we were learning..
The world heard our voice, picked up the signal of challenge, and examined our features and found them filled with determination as the sky is filled with stars guarding it, and the world witnessed that we do not despair, until it was amazed by our approach to the World Cup nominations that copied the one before it, until the time came to grant Morocco the honor of organizing the most beautiful and finest version, the version celebrating the first centenary of the World Cup.
Morocco is unanimously granted the honor of organizing the 2030 World Cup, and it has been honored to organize the version that needs all the tools of creativity to appear beautiful, elegant and attractive, the beauty of the moment, and the whole world celebrates the centenary of the birth of the sporting event that will attract the world, and will even become with the passage of time one of the signs of the times.
Those of my generation, who lived the labor and birth of the dream, 36 years ago, realize how hard and long the road was, how many times we stopped at the prohibition signs, how many times they begrudged us the dream, how many times they stole votes from our pockets in the last hours of the night, and evaporated in the darkness of deception.
Those of my generation realize how much patience we have armed ourselves with to cross the mined spaces, to bring down the obstructive walls, without losing patience and composure, without raising the white flag, without closing the windows of hope. Therefore, this historic moment, and the world unanimously recognizing that we are worthy of organizing this World Cup, seems to be a source of happiness for all of us, because organizing the World Cup in a version that celebrates the first centenary of the World Cup, is the most beautiful gift that the world can offer to Morocco, a token of loyalty and gratitude for the credibility of a people that boasts humanity. With the collective joy that overwhelms us, and the most beautiful World Cup is coming to us, we must pay attention to what is greater than stadiums, facilities, highways, airports and ports, to live the World Cup from today, to breathe it, to make it between our ribs, so that it becomes our daily bread, and to settle in our consciousness. The distance between doubt and certainty was long and tiring, so reaching today the certainty that the 2030 World Cup will make Morocco, Spain and Portugal a home for him, to build his edifice for the exceptional version of the World Cup, is enough alone to change our behavior, so that welcoming the whole world on the occasion of the World Cup becomes our collective responsibility, through which we highlight the identity of our ancient Morocco, and through which we establish a Morocco after 2030, a Morocco of renaissance, development, security and safety, a Morocco of peace and creativity.
Come on Vamos.. We say it now..
Let’s give the world the World Cup that inhabits the imagination, the World Cup that combines creativity with beauty. ned history.
