The company said in a statement on Monday that it had established an air bridge between Casablanca and Doha “to enable the many Moroccans wanting to support the national team at its peak and experience the emotion of the World Cup semi-final.”

The airline of the North African nation referred to it as a “historic qualifying” and announced that jumbo planes would fly the 30 return trips departing on Tuesday and Wednesday in time for the game.

Walid Regragui, the team’s coach who started his position just three months before the tournament began, has frequently referred to Moroccan fans as “the 12th member of the team.”
