Tournament outlook
The Atlas Lions stunned the world in Qatar and remain Africa's standard-bearers. Disciplined, quick and tactically flexible, they are dark-horse favourites again.
Managed by Walid Regragui, Morocco head into the 2026 World Cup in Group C, where they face Brazil, Haiti, Scotland. With a FIFA ranking of #8, expectations are calibrated accordingly, but tournament football has a way of rewriting the script.
