Morocco pay tribute to Abdelhak Nouri in joyous celebrations after Spain win

Morocco players have paid tribute to Abdelhak Nouri after the country's historic win over Spain in the last-16 of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

In the dressing room after the surprise win, Moroccan players could be seen holding a jersey with Nouri's name on it. Nouri was forced to retire in 2017 after an on-field cardiac arrest left him with brain damage.

The 25-year-old played nine times for the Ajax first team and played at youth level for the Netherlands. He is of Moroccan descent with both his parents hailing from the African country.
