And who doesn’t remember the undeniable hit “Waka Waka” by the great singer Shakira.
The song, which was the anthem of the 2010 World Cup held in South Africa, remains without a doubt one of FIFA’s most famous songs.
Today (Saturday), for the first time, an African country managed to qualify for the semi-finals of a World Cup.
That country is Morocco, which managed to beat Portugal 1-0 in a surprising match, days after scoring another surprise victory against Spain.
And upon seeing this, singer Shakira was reminded of the lyrics of her song “Waka Waka”, which in one part quote “This time for Africa”.
She posted a status on Twitter, writing exactly this lyric and accompanying it with an emoji of the Moroccan flag.
This time for Africa!! 👏🇲🇦 #WorldCup

We recall that Shakira was invited by this year’s host of the World Cup, Qatar, to perform at the opening ceremony – but she had turned down the offer.
