Morocco at World Cup 2026 Match Guide: Morocco will embark on its seventh World Cup appearance at the 2026 tournament in the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
The Atlas Lions competed at Mexico 1970 and 1986, USA 1994, France 1998, Russia 2018, and Qatar 2022, becoming the first African side to reach the semifinals of the global soccer tournament during the latter competition.
Walid Regragui, who led them to last four in Qatar, qualified them for this year’s tournament, but Mohamed Ouahbi is set to coach them in the finals after Regragui’s exit on March 5, 2026.
Morocco at World Cup 2026 match guide
Morocco, who were controversially awarded the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations trophy following CAF Appeal Body’s verdict, head into USA, Canada, Mexico 2026 in good form, having maintained an unbeaten run in their last five international friendlies, recording three wins and two draws.
Morocco’s Group C Opponents
The Atlas Lions are in Group C alongside, arguably the most iconic national football team in history, Brazil, as well as Scotland and Haiti.
Brazil have failed to live up to expectations since winning the World Cup in 2002 and reaching the final four years later in Germany. However, with Carlo Ancelotti now in charge and with stars like Raphinha, Vinicius Jr, and Igor Thiago, CanarinhoΒ are definitely one of the forces to reckon with in the upcoming World Cup.
Scotland and Haiti should not cause too many problems when they come up against the North African powerhouse.

Morocco’s all-time World Cup record
As one of the most consistent African national formations in the World Cup finals, the Atlas Lions of Morocco boast decent statistics across their seven participations.
According to the BBC, the two-time African champions recorded their fifth World Cup finals victory in the 1-0 quarterfinal success against Portugal in Doha thanks to Youssef En-Nesyri’s 42nd-minute effort.
World Cup record:
- Matches played: 23
- Wins: 5
- Draws: 7
- Losses: 11
- Goals scored: 20
- Goals conceded: 27
After eclipsing Cameroon and Ghana‘s quarterfinal record by making it to the 2022 World Cup semifinals, Morocco proved that they are capable of producing big performances and defying the odds. Maybe they can surpass their own landmark in North America.
