Brahim Diaz Chases Historic Achievement in the World Cup

The Moroccan international Brahim Diaz continues to create new chapters of brilliance with the Moroccan national team, as he is now just one step away from equaling a historic record that has stood for nearly three decades in the World Cup finals.

The "Atlas Lions" star succeeded in making a decisive impact during the Moroccan national team's first two matches in the group stage of the 2026 World Cup, having assisted two goals scored by his teammate Ismail Saibari in the matches against Brazil and Scotland, confirming his pivotal role in coach Mohamed Wahbi's attacking system.

Thanks to this achievement, Diaz now needs just one more assist to equal the record held by former Moroccan star Tahar El Khalej, who provided three assists during the 1998 World Cup in France, a feat that has remained unmatched by any Moroccan player for 28 years.

The impressive numbers do not stop there, as Diaz has previously achieved a notable continental feat by becoming the first Moroccan player to score five goals in his first five matches in the Africa Cup of Nations finals, further confirming his significant offensive capabilities and direct impact on the national team's results.

All eyes are on the upcoming match against Haiti, where the Real Madrid player has a perfect opportunity to equal Taher Lkhalij's record if he succeeds in creating a new goal. Continuing to provide decisive passes in the upcoming rounds could give him the chance to lead as the top assist provider in the history of Morocco's World Cup appearances.
