Morocco’s football team is gearing up for a historic showdown against Brazil in the FIFA World Cup 2026 opener.
Coach Mohamed Ouahbi emphasized that Morocco has entered a new dimension, aiming for the trophy in major competitions. The team made history in the previous World Cup by reaching the semifinals, defeating top teams like Spain and Portugal along the way. As co-hosts of the 2030 tournament, Morocco now faces Brazil with renewed confidence and respect.

Ouahbi stated that the team’s mindset has shifted significantly. They are no longer intimidated by Brazil, a five-time World Cup champion. The coach believes that Morocco’s recent successes have earned them respect on the global stage.
Despite losing key players Nayef Aguerd and Abde Ezzalzouli to injuries, the rest of the squad is fit and ready for the challenge. Ouahbi, who took over the coaching role just three months ago, aims to maintain the team’s core principles while pushing for victory.
