Morocco gave their fans plenty of reasons to smile at the World Cup, and now one of their most famous supporters can smile with the best of them.
Mohammed Al Sharafi was brutally abused by online trolls for his bad teeth after giving an interview in Qatar at the start of the tournament.
But in one of the most uplifting stories of the World Cup, he is now the proud owner of a new set of dentures after a celebrity dentist stepped in.
Dr. Shadi Al Sheikh from Jordan asked his one million followers to help him find Al Sharafiso for free treatment.
“As soon as I saw his picture, I decided to help him,” said Dr Al Sheikh. “I didn’t like people insulting him because of his teeth. I met him in Qatar and offered him free treatment at my clinic in Dubai.”
Al Sharafi took an all-expenses paid trip to Dubai with his son over the weekend and the results are amazing.

Originally from Jordan, Dr. Shadi Al Sheikh appealed for help in the search for Al Sharafi.
Dr. Al Sheikh will continue his free treatment for the next six months.
“He suffered from bone resorption in the upper jaw, which resulted in the destruction of bone tissue,” Dr Al Sheikh said. “This makes it difficult to implant new teeth. He will first need a bone implant for his six-month treatment.”
Dr. Al Sheikh posted a video on Instagram of a Moroccan fan with new teeth and wrote: “For the bullies. This is just the beginning.”
