Hi! I'm Issam from Morocco, I want to tell you about recreation in my country.
There are many leisure activities in Morocco, but football, or soccer, is the most popular
entertainment. Moroccans of all ages enjoy the sport, and often play soccer on the beach. There are
stadiums in all the cities, but the largest football stadiums are in Casablanca and Rabat.
The national team is called "The Lions of the Atlas". It has some of the best players in Europe.
When there is a big match, the streets are deserted because everyone is indoors watching the game on TV.
Men like to watch in the local cafés; it's more exciting.
For Moroccan football fans, the biggest and the most exciting football competition is the World
Cup. The African Cup is exciting, too, but is not as exciting as the World Cup.
