Huge bonuses for Moroccan athletes

Morocco offers great bonuses to the athlete Soufiane El Bakkali who retained their 3,000m steeplechase title at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and the Atlas Lion Cubs who won their first bronze medal by largely dominating Egypt (6-0).

Moroccan double world champion Soufiane El Bakkali will receive 2 million dirhams. On Wednesday, he won the 3000m steeplechase final at the Paris Olympics, after a race marked by the heavy fall of Ethiopian Lamecha Girma. He clocked a time of 8 “06”’05, faster than the one that allowed him to win gold in Tokyo in 2021. For their part, the Atlas Lions, in a 100% African duel, beat Egypt (6-0) in the small final of the Olympic football tournament at the Paris Olympics on Thursday, thus winning their first bronze medal. Each Moroccan player will receive 400,000 Moroccan dirhams.
