Diaz Delights Moroccan Orphans During Training: A Heartwarming AFCON Moment
Diaz shares a heartwarming moment with orphans during a Morocco training session.

Diaz Delights Moroccan Orphans

Morocco trains for Tanzania tomorrow, and star midfielder Ibrahim Diaz stole the show by sharing a compassionate moment with young fans.

Ahead of the AFCON Round of 16

Cameras captured Diaz engaging with the National Security's orphans, posing for photos and signing autographs. He went beyond the moment, signing letters and leaving a smile that drew praise from teammates and fans. Morocco now awaits Tanzania in the AFCON Round of 16 on Sunday. If his day job as a Madrid star fails, he can always autograph the sun for the kids. And if AFCON goes sideways, at least his smile can score more goals than some strikers.
