About Morocco
Morocco made history at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals and finishing fourth - the best result ever by an African or Arab nation. Under the tactically astute Walid Regragui, the Atlas Lions combine a defensive solidity with rapid counter-attacking, marshalled by Inter Milan's Achraf Hakimi and the creative Hakim Ziyech. Group C at World Cup 2026 places Morocco alongside Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti - a favourable draw beyond the Brazil fixture that should see them advance. Morocco are legitimate dark-horse contenders to repeat their 2022 heroics and cause upsets deep into the knockout rounds.
