Africa's 2022 Semi-Final Heroes
Morocco became the first African and Arab nation to reach a World Cup semi-final when they eliminated Spain, Portugal, and Belgium in Qatar 2022. Their wall-like defensive structure and electric counter-attacking football made them the story of the tournament. 2026 is where they prove it was no fluke.
At the 2026 World Cup, Morocco are placed in Group C alongside Brazil, Haiti, Scotland. The top 2 teams from every group advance to the Round of 32, and the 8 best third-placed teams also go through. Every match matters from minute one.
With 6 World Cup appearances in their history and a best finish of Fourth place (2022), Morocco bring experience to a tournament that is larger and more competitive than ever before.
Group C Draw
All 4 teams in Morocco's group. Top 2 advance automatically, plus the 8 best third-placed teams across all 12 groups.
