Walid Rkraki, the coach of the Moroccan national football team, emphasized the importance of achieving victory against Zambia tomorrow, Monday, in the eighth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, before facing the same team again in the group stage of the Africa Cup of Nations scheduled to be held in Morocco next December.

Rkraki explained during the press conference held today, Sunday, that the lineup will see some changes, but the goal remains clear: to continue the winning streak.

The national coach added that facing Zambia on their home ground will not be easy, given the unique nature of African atmospheres and the difficulties of playing away from home.

This match comes after the "Atlas Lions" officially secured their qualification for the 2026 World Cup, following a resounding victory over Niger with five goals to none.
