Morocco Aims for Historic Victory in FIFA World Cup 2026 Following Impressive Qualifiers
Morocco's Remarkable Journey in the FIFA World Cup
Morocco is set to enter the FIFA World Cup 2026 as a leading contender from Africa, especially after its groundbreaking performance in the previous tournament. During the Qatar 2022 World Cup, they topped Group F by defeating formidable teams such as Belgium (2-0) and Canada (2-1), while also managing a draw against Croatia. Their journey continued with a stunning victory over Spain in the Round of 16, winning 3-0 on penalties after a goalless draw, and they narrowly defeated Portugal 1-0 in the quarter-finals. Although they faced France in the semi-finals and Croatia in the third-place match, their impressive run showcased their tactical brilliance and the emergence of a talented generation of players, positioning them as strong contenders to become the first African nation to claim the World Cup title in 2026.

They have secured victories in all five matches, accumulating a total of 15 points without any draws or losses.
