Mr Bouderbala confirmed that he would be delighted to visit the boys at the MCT and that it would be his honour and privilege to spend time with them. Despite being based in Fes, an 8 hour journey from Taroudant, Mr Bouderbala said he wouldn’t promise to spend some time coaching the boys and getting to know them. The boys were hugely excited by the news since it is not every day that a former Morocco national team star and runner-up for the African Footballer of the Year pays a visit to them.
