"Lions of the Atlas" is the nickname for the Moroccan national football team.

The phrase refers to the Atlas Mountain range that runs through North Africa. The name "Atlas" traces its origins back to the ancient belief in the Titan Atlas. According to ancient Greek mythology, Atlas supports the heavens on his shoulders. His task is supposed to keep the heavens from falling down and crushing Planet Earth.
