In a deeply symbolic and humane gesture, Fouzi Lekjaa, the President of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation, paid a special visit to the home of football legend Ahmed Fares this week, to check on his health amid his current medical challenges.
This visit reflects a profound sense of loyalty and appreciation for Fares’ monumental contributions to Moroccan and Arab football, as he remains the first Moroccan and Arab player to win the African Ballon d’Or in 1976.
The football icon, who has long been a symbol of Moroccan football, is currently undergoing intensive treatment under the care of a specialized medical team, with regular monitoring of his health condition to assess his response to the treatment. While he continues to battle his health challenges, Lekjaa’s visit served as a powerful message of emotional support, with the president expressing his full solidarity with Fares and his family, emphasizing the importance of caring for those who have given so much to Moroccan football.
