Africa-Press – Mauritius. Morocco head coach Walid Regragui has expressed his delight after guiding the Atlas Lions to a flawless World Cup qualifying campaign, securing six wins out of six.
“Six matches, six wins—even against teams that play with ten men behind—it’s the start of the season for the players. Hamdulillah, I’m satisfied,” Regragui said with pride after sealing Morocco’s place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The North Africans have been dominant throughout the qualifiers, showing consistency and resilience despite facing defensive-minded opponents determined to frustrate them. Their perfect record underlines Morocco’s growing stature on the continent following their historic 2022 World Cup run.
With qualification now wrapped up, Regragui revealed that the team’s focus will shift to the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), where Morocco will be among the favorites.
“We have qualified for the World Cup, now we will focus on the AFCON,” he emphasized.
The message is clear: Morocco’s ambitions are not just about making it to North America in 2026, but also conquering Africa in the near term.
