Elated Morocco fans celebrated on the streets of London on Tuesday night following their team’s triumph over Spain in the last 16 of the World Cup.
Footage showed crowds of people around Oxford Street, Piccadilly Circus and Edgware Road chanting, dancing and waving Moroccan flags after the result.
Morocco won 3-0 on penalties after the final whistle went without either side managing to score a goal.
It is the first time Morocco, or any Arab nation, has reached the last eight of the World Cup finals. They are also the first African team to reach the quarter-finals since Ghana in 2010, with only Cameroon and Senegal having done so previously.
It is the third successive major tournament – following the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Euros – in which Spain, the 2010 World Cup champion, have been knocked out on penalties.
