From the Pitch to Linguistic Prestige: How Did Morocco’s World Cup Run Reshape Perceptions?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The FIFA World Cup in Qatar was historic in many ways, but beyond the stadiums and the goals, one of the most striking linguistic and cultural moments of the tournament was the rise of Morocco’s national team—the Atlas Lions. Their journey to the semi-finals was more than just a football triumph; it was a linguistic and sociocultural phenomenon that elevated the visibility and identity of Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and Amazigh culture on a global scale.
