How Indian Fans Supporting Morocco Left Nora Fatehi Emotional
Nora Fatehi has recently opened up about receiving immense love in Dallas, and how Indian fans supporting Morocco left her feeling emotional.
She said, "I wouldn't trade it for the world. It beats sitting at home and watching the game; this is a different experience. It's such an unforgettable experience. I would never forget this. I actually have something to tell my kids in the future. I'll be like, 'Mommy went to the games and she sat in the front right next to the pitch and experienced history. Experienced something incredible.' I would not trade this for the world. I really feel like I'm living, I legit feel like I'm living and I also want to say something that made me extremely happy and brought tears to my eyes."
She continued, "I met so many Indians here in the stadium who were wearing the Moroccan jersey and they were cheering for Morocco; they came and hugged me and took pictures with me. I was just so proud. It was such a moment for me. I have no words to explain this but thank you, guys. If you're Indian and you're here in Dallas supporting Morocco, I appreciate it. I thank you from my heart."
Born to Moroccan roots, raised in Canada and now based out of India, Nora Fatehi has always been vocal about her love for both countries.
