The Moroccan national team has achieved a new historical milestone, securing qualification for the 2026 World Cup early and with merit, following a significant victory over the Niger national team with a score of five to zero. With this qualification, the "Atlas Lions" have become the Arab team with the most presence in the World Cup, equaling the African record held by Cameroon (7 participations).

This achievement is a culmination of an exceptional path in the qualifiers, where the Moroccan team marked an ideal journey by achieving 6 complete victories out of 6 matches, without conceding a single goal, confirming the continuity of the national football project that has placed Morocco among the rising powers both continentally and internationally.

This qualification is the seventh in the history of the "Lions" after the editions of: 1970, 1986, 1994, 1998, 2018, 2022, and now 2026, reflecting the consistency of performance across different generations. Between the achievement in Mexico 1986 when the team qualified for the second round for the first time, and the historic participation in the Qatar 2022 World Cup reaching the semifinals as the first African and Arab team, Moroccan ambition has remained high despite periods of failure and challenges.

With the African Cup of Nations 2025 approaching, which will be hosted by the Kingdom, the current generation seems poised to write a new chapter of glory by reclaiming the continental title that has been absent since 1976, and entering the 2026 World Cup with the best technical and moral readiness.

The question remains: Will the "Atlas Lions" continue to write history and achieve the dream of continental glory before embarking on the next World Cup adventure?
