What is the relationship between Belgium and Morocco?

Belgium and Morocco, one in Europe and the other in Africa, seem to have little relationship, but in the field of football, they have very deep roots. The independence movement in North Africa in the middle of last century led to the influx of many Moroccan refugees into Belgium. From 65438 to 0970, Belgium's economy developed rapidly, and a large number of laborers were introduced from Morocco to make up for the shortage of domestic labor. In this way, Moroccan immigrants settled in Belgium and raised the second and third generations. Immigrants have enriched the talent pool of Belgian football. Fellaini and Chudleigh, who are familiar to fans, are all Moroccan descendants. They became important members of the "golden generation" of Belgian football and helped the "European Red Devils" to re-enter the ranks of strong teams.
