Futsal World Cup: the Atlas Lions ask for forgiveness

After their defeat against Brazil (3-1) in the quarter-finals of the Futsal World Cup, Sunday September 29 in Bukhara (Uzbekistan), the Atlas Lions of Morocco sent a moving message to Moroccan supporters.

While they hoped to reach the semi-finals and compete for the coveted title, the Atlas Lions lost to Brazil, five times crowned in its history (1989, 1992, 1996, 2008, 2012). A bitter defeat for Hicham Dguig’s men. “We apologize to the Moroccan public. We gave everything we could. Today, it is clear that the absence of injured players has been felt. We managed to keep pace with the Brazilian team, but we could not respond to their many goals. I hope the supporters will forgive us, we gave everything,” said Soufiane El Mesrar.
