Despite Morocco having a successful national football team, the chances of making it as a star footballer in the country are very slim, especially outside the big cities.

Lack of state investment and limited sporting opportunities offer few prospects for talented teenagers to become professionals, let alone famous athletes.

But in reality, they have to contend with low wages, limited facilities and the relentless need to balance providing for their families with their football dreams.
