Overview
Morocco were the story of the 2022 World Cup, becoming the first African nation to reach the semi-finals. Regragui's side returns with much of that squad intact and a target on their back, but the experience of Qatar gives them a unique edge among African sides.
Road to World Cup 2026
Morocco qualified as the top-ranked African side through the CAF group stage, continuing the form that delivered the historic 2022 result.
Qualification: CAF qualification
Key Players to Watch
- Achraf Hakimi
- Brahim DΓaz
- Youssef En-Nesyri
- Sofyan Amrabat
Strengths
Defensive organization, world-class wing-backs, and a settled spine that has played together for years. The Qatar experience is a major asset.
Weaknesses
Scoring goals against deep blocks remains a challenge. The squad lacks a true backup for Hakimi at right-back.
World Cup 2026 Chances
Anything less than a round-of-32 appearance would be a disappointment. The team has the quality to reach the quarter-finals again.
Historical World Cup Performance
Seven prior appearances, with the 2022 fourth-place finish the standout result. The 1986 round-of-16 exit (the first African side to advance from the group) was the previous high.
Best result: Fourth place (2022)
Last World Cup: Fourth place (2022)
