Morocco national team was given a resounding heroes welcome following their return from a historic campaign at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Atlas Lions arrived back in Morocco on Tuesday evening after finishing fourth at the just-ended World Cup, becoming the first and only African team to reach that far in history.

Morocco broke the hoodoo of no African country ever reaching the last four of the global showpiece as they reached the semi-finals in Qatar.

Morocco toppled a Group which had second-ranked in the World, Belgium, last edition's runners-up Croatia and Canada.

They beat Belgium and Canada and drew with Croatia which was the fourth time an African side has finished top of their group at the World Cup.

The North Africans faced Spain in the Round of 16 and saw off the European giants by beating them in post-match penalty shootouts after a goalless stalemate after extra time.

Morocco then faced Portugal in the quarter-finals and was able to beat them 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals, becoming the first African nation to be able to get to that stage.

They lost 2-0 to France in the semi-finals and subsequently lost 2-1 to Croatia in the third-place playoff last Saturday.

The massive welcome by the players and the technical staff on their return from Qatar clearly shows how the people of Morocco appreciate and cherish the performance of the entire team during the World Cup.

Below are some photos of the massive crowd welcoming the team from Qatar:

This is beautiful, seriously I didn't expect Morocco to go that far, but determination and team work helped them.

Na Arab world proud.. u think North Africa countries see themselves as Africans.

I'm just glad they didn't reach the finals leading to a possible win, seriously can't have a North African state the first of that when it comes to Africa.

Na Arab world proud.. u think North Africa countries see themselves as Africans.

If they like make dem see themselves as Europeans or Martians. Na CAF dem use take reach there. They are Africans and will forever be Africans. No matter how I try to identify as an American, na my passport go determine my citizenship. Morocco was there as one of five African representatives irrespective of whatever else they think

Imagine how Lagos go be if na Super Eagle achieve this feat. Everywhere go tear.
