The Draw Places Morocco in a Group That Brings Back Memories of the 1998 World Cup
The group stage draw for the 2026 World Cup was held today, Friday, which will take place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico next summer.
One of the interesting aspects of this draw is that the Moroccan national team was placed in Group C, alongside Brazil, Scotland, and Haiti.
This group brought back memories of Morocco's group in the 1998 World Cup in France, where they were in a group with Brazil, Scotland, and Norway.
The Moroccan team had achieved a remarkable victory over Scotland in the third round with a 3-0 score, but a surprising win by Norway over Brazil eliminated the Atlas Lions.
It is worth noting that the Norwegian team had been absent from the World Cup since that edition and has returned this time, as the draw placed them in Group I, along with Scotland.
