6 Historic Victories for Morocco in the World Cup

The Moroccan national team continues to make history in the World Cup finals, after adding a new victory to its World Cup record by defeating Scotland 1-0 in the 2026 edition, reaching its sixth victory in the history of its participation in the global tournament.

The Scottish team is considered the favorite victim of the 'Atlas Lions' in the World Cup, as Morocco had previously defeated them in the 1998 World Cup, achieving a famous 3-0 victory in the final round of the group stage.

The Portuguese team also holds a special memory in Moroccan football history, as it was a part of two of Morocco's most prominent World Cup victories, starting with the historic 1-0 win in the 1986 World Cup, which granted the 'Atlas Lions' a ticket to the second round as the first Arab and African team to achieve this feat, before Moroccan superiority was repeated in the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup with Youssef En-Nesyri's goal that led Morocco to the semi-finals.

The rest of Morocco's victories came in the exceptional edition of the 2022 World Cup when the team ousted both Belgium with a 2-0 result and Canada with a 2-1 result during the group stage, on its way to achieving the best Arab and African accomplishment in the history of the tournament.

Between Scotland and Portugal, the Moroccan national team continues to solidify its position as one of the most prominent Arab and African teams in World Cup history, with ambitions to add new victories during the current edition of the tournament.
