Berkane Welcomes One of the National Football Stars

On May 10, 2024, at dawn, households across the city of Berkane and its surroundings are preparing to attend the match between the national women's U17 football club and its Algerian counterpart, in preparation for the World Cup to be held from October 16 to November 3, 2024 in the Dominican Republic.
Dressed in national colors and waving the national flag, men, women, and children begin to converge hours before the match towards the municipal stadium of Berkane, which was already full, with nearly 10,000 people, long before the kick-off of the game, a record number according to experts, of supporters who backed the national U17 team.
Un enthousiasme inÃĐdit, une spontanÃĐitÃĐ sans prÃĐcÃĐdent, et un patriotisme hautement renouvelÃĐ et longuement prononcÃĐ, tout empreint de dÃĐmonstrations musicales du folklore local, ont joliment et somptueusement marquÃĐ les gradins, du dÃĐbut du match jusqu’à sa fin.

The tremendous support shown by the people of Berkane, regardless of gender and age, only served to encourage the national team, which secured victory with a score of 4-0, and saw its performance escalate, minute after minute, achievement after achievement, and goal after goal, to the point that the score could have reached double digits if our young girls had capitalized on a few more opportunities.

 
Distinct from the Botola Pro matches, which are played in the same stadium by the RSB club, the stands took on a completely different appearance this time, reflecting a mosaic of ages and genders united in symbiosis and harmony with local music, occasionally played, all around a single and common goal: the glory and perpetuation of the national sports brand image in general.
Loin de toute forme d’aversion, le public de Berkane a rÃĐservÃĐ, par ailleurs un accueil faisant preuve de qualitÃĐs de bon voisinage à l’ÃĐquipe adverse et au staff qui l’accompagnait, qualitÃĐs dont jouissent toutes les composantes de Notre Nation VÃĐnÃĐrÃĐe.
The audience in Berkane thus had its say, expressed in a spectacular manner, proving its inevitable mobilization to support any other future events, whether national, continental, or international in nature.
