Walid Regragui, the head coach of the Moroccan national team, has entered the history of African football through its widest doors, after becoming the first coach to lead a team from the African continent to reach the semi-finals in the two biggest tournaments at the national team level, which are the World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.

According to the website "Stats Foot," specialized in statistics, Regragui previously led the Moroccan national team to the semi-finals of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, following the historic victory over Portugal by one goal to nil, scored by striker Youssef En-Nesyri, an unprecedented achievement on both the Arab and African levels.

The journey of success did not stop there, as Regragui continued his strong presence at the continental level during the finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations hosted by Morocco, after leading the "Atlas Lions" to the semi-finals of the tournament.

Qualification to the final four came after a 2-0 victory over Cameroon in the match held yesterday, marking the Moroccan national team's return to the continental tournament's semi-finals after an absence of 22 years.

Walid Regragui has become close to achieving a new historic accomplishment, as he holds a real chance to compete for the Africa Cup of Nations title, which could enhance his status as one of the most successful coaches in the history of Moroccan football and grant the fans a long-awaited title.
