Due to a high birth rate, the amount of Moroccans in Holland has grown rapidly in recent decades. Even though nowadays you can’t think of the Netherlands without its Moroccan citizens, a lot of Dutch people do not embrace their presence. This year is a special one for Moroccans in the Holland. Whilst the Netherlands did not succeed, Morocco qualified (after 20 years of absence) for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Despite there being seven Dutchmen included in Morocco’s squad for the tournament, a large group of the Dutch population will sadly not be cheering for the North-African country. In a society where an unfairly negative portrayal of Moroccans is dominant, it’s time to make a different voice heard. With this release, we honor all Moroccan Dutch players who have made the qualification possible and we call on the rest of Holland to cheer for the country and the group of people that as a nation, we often make it so difficult for.
